SBIR-STTR Award

WCDMA repeater payloads being developed for deployment on unmanned aerial vehicles will provide enhanced beyond line of sight coverage with guaranteed Quality of Service for the warfighter. To become a reality, these payloads will require deployable multiband base stations to serve as the ground infrastructure. The base station will be designed in this project, thereby enabling this network architecture and revolutionizing battlefield communications.

Benefit:
The warfighter will benefit from this innovation by enhanced (e.g. polar region) coverage from the additional WCDMA payloads. In many regions, he will then be served by a choice of WCDMA beams, eliminating the single point of failure of a single beam.

The overall objective of this project is to provide NAWCAD with a local and enduring MUOS terminal test capability. This is achievable through W5s Mobile User Objective Orientation System (MUOOS) which is the worlds first and only MUOS satellite and ground system simulator. This project is broken down into two objectives. Objective 1 is to assemble and deliver a MUOOS to NAWCADs laboratory. The second objective is to enhance the capability of the MUOOS through the addition of MUOS group call services.

Benefit:
Provides Primes and Program of Record with off satellite MUOS capability to allow integration, testing and troubleshooting of MUOS terminals during development. Beyond development, platforms and warfighers will use the MUOS simulator to integrate, test and troubleshoot this new capability while it is being integrated into various platforms.
