Description

To meet the demands of the A19C-T002 STTR solicitation (“Millimeter Waveforms For Tactical Networking”), we propose to develop a millimeter wave handheld radio design which leverages COTS 5G components to reduce cost. To provide flexibility for Army applications, the design will take a software defined radio approach which will provide anti-jamming and enhanced LPI/LPD. Further security will be increased through the use of an embedded encryption module. The design will include an adhoc mode for environments without cellular infrastructure. In Phase I, MaXentric performed a study involving analysis, modeling and experimentation to design and estimate the performance of the proposed millimeter wave handset. This included a trade study of all reasonable solutions. During Phase II, a prototype system will be developed, demonstrated and delivered.
