Expeditionary Submarine fiber Optic Cable (SFOC)
Abstract
Classified Project: The Expeditionary Submarine Fiber Optic Cable (SFOC) Communications project is developing and experimenting innovative concepts designed to validate both material and non-material methodologies to provide resilient command and control within the maritime and littoral domains. The project focus is to demonstrate capabilities that leverage existing industry and DOD investments and infrastructure using non-traditional means to move data and information. The key deliverable will be a demonstration using maritime assets, experimental methodologies, and current backhaul architecture to validate C2 data movement across the maritime domain. Continue the development and refinement of advanced networking and communication capabilities in a maritime environment that promote C2 interoperability in Satellite Communications (SATCOM) - Restricted and SATCOM - Denied environments, and support the defeat Anti-Access Area Denial (A2/AD). Solutions will address higher bandwidth technologies across the Radio Frequency (RF) and Optical spectrum.
