There are many situations where military receivers require coordinated universal time (UTC) in GPS-denied environments. TrellisWare has already developed and fielded a TRL 9 military waveform that synchronizes to microsecond-to-millisecond accuracy without GPS. This waveform provides a feasibility proof for the capability sought by the Air Force. In this program, TrellisWare will identify and develop the lowest-complexity and most cost-effective solution for realizing our proven techniques for secure time delivery via the existing commercial and tactical wireless infrastructure.
Benefit: The techniques developed in this program could be applied to provide time sync and wireless localization capabilities to commercial and first responder radios that are used in GPS-denied environments. Examples include mining, tunnels, and post-disaster recovery efforts.
