Wideband Secured and Protected Emitter and Receiver (WiSPER)*
Abstract
*formerly Ensured Communication Link for Identification Friend or Foe (ECLIFF) The Wideband Secured and Protected Emitter and Receiver (WiSPER) program aims to develop an ultra-broadband technology platform to demonstrate a robust, secure and protected communication link. WiSPER technology provides high signal coding gain to deliver a secured and protected link with significantly enhanced capacity for next generation DoD communications. Current terrestrial tactical radios operate with limited bandwidth at prescribed low frequency bands, which are unable to support high capacity with multiple users, and vulnerable to interference and jamming. WISPER technology addresses military needs for assured communications, electronic warfare (EW) communications deception, throughput, security, and size, weight, and power (SWaP) limitations of future C4ISR missions. The program develops an ultra-broadband compact antenna, radio frequency front end electronics, mixed signal circuits, and featureless waveform technologies. The WiSPER program will culminate with the integration and demonstration of a secured communication link. The WiSPER program moved from ELT-02, Beyond Scaling Technologies, in FY 2019.
