COMWIN Antenna Project: Final Report FY 1999 to 2002

Abstract

The two goals of the COMbat Wear INtegration (COMWIN) project are to develop a soldier-carried antenna that can transmit or receive a signal at any frequency from 2 MHz to 2 GHz and that disguises the identity of the radio operator. The purpose of the first aim is to make the antenna compatible with the hand-held radio that will be manufactured in accordance with the Operational Requirements Document of the Joint Tactical Radio. The purpose of the second aim is to increase the difficulty of snipers to target the radio operators and disrupt command, communications, and control at the squad level. Both aims are achieved by integrating the antenna into the uniform of the soldier or marine. This document is comprehensive in that it provides a summary of all the important steps taken during the 3-year period of the effort. Details will be provided on the work done during Fiscal Year (FY) 2002.
