The US Army Joint Attack Munitions Systems Program Management Office (JAMS PMO) has, under topic A13-053, presented the following objective: Develop a prototype high bandwidth (>2GB/s) millimeter wave two way data link for intra-missile communications. Proposed herein is a High Bandwidth, Compact, Wireless, Millimeter Wave Intra-Missile Data Link that (1)Has bandwidth>2 Gb/s. (2) Meets reduced SWaP goals, with size at 2.8X2.4X0.20 in (for three channels), weight of 100gm, and power of<2W. These factors provide the SWaP required to fit in a tactical missile with a seven inch diameter. The transmitter will be capable of being mounted on the gimbaled sensor platform. (3) Allows for imprecise alignment, to limit error rate, and (4) Is low cost, utilizing COTS components and open network protocol.
