Analysis and Tradeoffs Supporting the SDI System Architecture (Phase 2C Program)
Abstract
This report summarizes, and in certain areas extends, the analyses and key tradeoff studies the Strategic Electronics Division of the Government Electronics Group of Motorola, Incorporated has performed for SPARTA, Incorporated, from March 1987 to January 1988 on Subcontract No.87-094 in support of SPARTA's Systems Security tasking on their Phase 2C contract (MDA903-85-C-0064) for the SDI Systems Security and Key Technologies Program. The areas covered during this period included the following preliminary reports generated by Motorola for SPARTA: (1) a jamming estimate (Secret report, entitled "Threat Technology," dated July 20, 1987); )(2) a preliminary assessment of transmission and antenna technology; anti-jam and coding techniques; system security, processors, COMSEC/TRANSEC, authentication, and IC device technologies (report, entitled "Technology Preliminary Assessment Report," dated 19 May 1987); and, (3) three white papers, "Trends in Radiation Hardened Micro-Electronics for SDI," "Embedded Comsec for SDI," and "Impact of Compusec on Fault Tolerant Computers" (report, entitled "SDI Technology Assessment Report," dated 21 May 1987). Though portions of this final report are drawn from these previously submitted reports and some reference is made to them, they are not extended here, per se, and therefore stand alone in their original form.
