Antenna and Hardware Technologies
Abstract
This effort investigates low cost, power efficient, conformal and directional antenna technologies for terrestrial, airborne, and tactical SATCOM ground terminals to enable them to operate OTM over multiple frequency bands, and itfurther investigates armor embedded antenna and distributed array technologies. Together these efforts will improve ground forces electronic protection, increase signal power and range and provide greater connectivity for both mounted and dismounted forces. Work being accomplished under Program Element (PE) 0602270A/project 906, PE 0603270A/project K15 and PE 0603794A/Project EL4 complements this effort. In Fiscal Year (FY) 18 a majority of these efforts, along with several efforts currently under Future Communications and Networking Technologies, will be reported under a new thrust, entitled “Networking to Improve Maneuver and Expeditionary Operations”, in order to better focus efforts in related and evolving technologies. A few of the efforts herein will be reported in another new thrust area entitled “Uninterrupted Communications”.
