Tactical Beyond-Line-of-Sight Communications Extension System (TEBLOS) (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
Evaluate a tactical, man-portable, beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) troposcatter terminal that significantly increases the existing range of the tactical network data throughput for 16 Megabites per second (Mbps) links from 22 Kilometers (KM) line of sight to 44 KM, while reducing or eliminating vulnerable relay sites. Tactical network range extension currently relies on limited data transfers through expensive Ku-band and Ka-band satellite communications (SATCOM) for BLOS connectivity. The primary outputs and efficiencies are data throughput of 10 Mbps or greater at 40 KM, two person transportable (86 pounds) system, capable of set up and operation in 30 minutes.
