Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Compliant Anti-Jam Waveform for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Unmanned Vehicle Beyond Line of Sight Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Topic No.: N161-049 Topic Title: Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Compliant Anti-Jam Waveform for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Unmanned Vehicle Beyond Line of Sight Proposal No.: N161-049-0650 Firm: GIRD Systems, Inc. 310 Terrace Ave. Cincinnati, Ohio 45220 Contact: James Caffery Phone: (513) 281-2900 Web Site: www.girdsystems.com Abstract: The Littoral Combat Ships (LCS), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) work together to provide perimeter protection for the Naval forces. Maintaining persistent connectivity with such unmanned vehicles is critical to the success of the operations. GIRD Systems proposes to develop a novel waveform that provides anti-jamming (AJ) protection while support high data rates for beyond line of sight (BLOS) links in the upper HF band. GIRD leverages its previous success in high-throughput AJ waveform development to provide a robust, flexible waveform in the limited bandwidth of BLOS links. The performance of the proposed waveform will be simulated and demonstrated in Phase I. Benefits: This SBIR program obviously develops into a potential product for the military market. Other Navy offices and DoD Services will have interest in robust, high network throughput data link in an adverse (jamming) environment. In the commercial market, the potential of utilizing robust wireless devices is high. Commercial products may also be developed from this effort and integrated into communication systems supporting other mission critical applications such as disaster response. Return
