Congested/Congested Spectrum
Abstract
Demonstrate the capacity to “operate through” existing commercial 5G infrastructure throughout the globe, leveraging existing infrastructure to meet DoD mission needs using dynamic spectrum utilization and controlled manipulation of 5G network security architectures. These capabilities will be based on technologies such as dynamic spectrum utilization to maximize availability and resilience for wireless connectivity, multi-networking across wired and wireless systems for finding and exploiting alternate paths and redundant paths to ensure secure and reliable communication, network monitoring including new artificial intelligence (AI) techniques that use both passive and active measurements to assess security threats and identify potential mitigations. Develop tactical, operational, and strategic networking prototypes to demonstrate capabilities to dynamically balance use of congested spectrum between military systems and commercial wireless networks. Capabilities will be prototyped and evaluated at-scale within highly dynamic and contested radio frequency (RF) environments. The Congested/Contested Spectrum research, development, and experimentation activities will deliver fieldable prototype capabilities that will remain in place at designated DoD locations. Those that do not perform sufficiently well will still provide lessons learned to promulgate 5G knowledge and tradecraft. These deliverables will inform base/camp/station modernization and recapitalization investments as prototypes transition to enduring infrastructure.
