Mobile Networked Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO) (MNM)
Abstract
(U) The Mobile Networked Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO) (MNM) program will pursue MIMO communication systems, which have the potential to increase data rates by 10-20 times above current systems. MIMO will use multipath to create parallel channels in the same frequency band thereby increasing spectral efficiency. This effort will demonstrate the MNM capability under dynamic urban Non-Line-of-Sight multipath channel conditions where conventional techniques are degraded. This effort will undertake advanced MIMO technology development and perform field demonstrations of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). This effort will culminate in the development of a wideband form-factor system for use in tactical edge devices including troops, vehicles, and robotics. The MNM technology is planned for transition to the Army in FY 2011.
