E-band Communications (Air Force)
Abstract
This project evaluates an E-band (71-86 gigahertz) radio system’s capability to increase communications throughput by an order of magnitude or greater over deployed military systems. Completed Phase I laboratory testing 3Q FY 2017. Completed Phase II Field Testing 4Q FY 2017. Complete final test and closeout reports 1Q FY 2018 with FY 2017 funds. Following the FCT, the test item will transition to the Air Force Research Laboratory in New Mexico for additional rooftop testing under the W/V-band Satellite Communications Experiment Program. Additionally, the technology could be used today for other line-of-sight applications. Although this project did not meet the one million dollar threshold it was included in this section because of a large investment in FY 2016.
