Spectrum Efficient Technology

Abstract

The SET project continued to mature technologies required for network and cellular based telemetry for both manned and unmanned platforms. The SET project is developing an airborne cellular transceiver for aeronautical telemetry for larger throughput of data to ground control systems, bi-directional communication to the platform, and spectrum reuse. The SET project is developing low-cost, digital beamforming airborne phased array telemetry receiving antennas to operate in S-band frequencies to autonomously track multiple streams from fast-moving targets. Development of 5G radios integrated onboard airborne platforms to support test missions was initiated. Development of a spectrum analysis manager is near completion; this planning tool will efficiently de-conflict telemetry spectrum assignments and provide actionable information regarding telemetry link performance.
