Software Defined Soldier
Abstract
The SDS project supports the Department of Defense modernization priority for fully networked command and control by developing an agile software-defined radio and application based user interface (UI). SDS provides the dismounted warfighter with a multi-function radio frequency capability, including communications, electronic warfare, and passive radar in a modular, plug-and-play package. Through the application based UI, the SDS device is reconfigurable on demand and can be upgraded through tailored software packages. In FY 2018, this project upgraded the SDS prototype hardware and matured the UI to enable a variety of applications. Using FY 2018 funds, work continues in FY 2019 on development of the firmware and finalizing the application software. After successful testing, the SDS prototype will transition in FY 2019 to the U.S. Special Operations Command for evaluation and operational use.
