High-Frequency Silent Transmission over Optimum Delivery of Expeditionary Situational Awareness Resilient Mesh (HF STORM)
Abstract
Previously-funded JCTD. This JCTD refines the Department of Defense (DoD)’s Fully-networked Command, Control, and Communications (FNC3) and high frequency (HF) roadmaps to mature and layer several key technologies. HF STORM will develop and employ antenna arrays (communication hubs), covert mobile architectures, and software defined radio (SDR) capabilities. These developments combine to increase transmission directivity while minimizing detection susceptibility in tactical, relocatable, and expeditionary ground and aerial nodes that link with a large ground-based array to provide global and secure reach in a contested or denied environment. The integration of wideband SDRs with advanced waveforms enables robust and resilient beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communication links while decreasing an adversary’s jamming ability. In FY 2022, HF STORM conduct a Technical Demonstration.
