Description
Under this Phase I effort, Stephens & Cross Research, Inc. (SCR) will demonstrate technical feasibility of a rocket inductive link using NFC technology with essential performance features of: bidirectional data communication, inductive energy harvesting and energy storage for operation during link and immediately after, and operation with conductive obscuration. Inductive link performance will be demonstrated analytically and experimentally with custom-designed antennas. The key innovation that underpins the proposed approach is a low-profile ferrite-backed reader antenna in each launcher tube, and a low-profile munition antenna and transponder embedded in the guidance section or warhead.
