UHF Legacy Extension (ULX)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. ULX supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on developing resilient, survivable networks from the tactical level up to strategic planning. ULX will address legacy communication systems across the DoD currently lacking resilience in congested and contested environments. These systems face near-term risk in shortfalls in UHF channel capacity while wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) radios are fielded. ULX will resolve the legacy UHF shortfall by increasing total legacy UHF channel capacity worldwide. ULX will reduce legacy UHF channel contention among users by leveraging Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) spot beams for regional channel assignment. ULX provides resiliency and eliminates legacy UHF interference through innovative ground signal processing. In FY 2020, ULX developed concept of the operations and tactics, techniques, and procedures; developed user-friendly frequency planning system and channel plan; conducted a technical demonstration (TD); and installed an operational prototype.
