Cancun

Abstract

The Cancun program will create distributable nodes to measure the radio high frequency (HF) environment for improved war fighter situational awareness. Cancun will enable cost-effective wide-area deployment of low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) nodes. Cancun will also develop the command and control (C2) network and planning tools required to address the challenge of coordinating large numbers of Cancun nodes deployed over distances of well over 1000 kilometers. The Cancun nodes will measure the state of the ionosphere using a sounding function, as well as record and relay portions of the HF radio band for analysis. The mission planning tool will be developed with war fighter input to optimize functionality. Technologies developed under the Cancun program will transition to the Services.
