Description

Our approach will enable MDA avoid the long time currently required for current missile to launch control to missile communications and enables direct missile to missile high speed, secure communications during flight operations. This will result in increased probability of kill and potentially a reduction in the number of interceptors and/or kill vehicles required and that inherent cost savings in production. Commercial applications: In addition to MDA missile programs, both legacy and new ones such as MOKV, many space programs (DoD, NASA and commercial constellations) will benefit from this cross-linking capability.
