Description
ABSTRACT: Space Micro proposes to team with a prime space firm to develop the next generation Radiation hard, On Orbit Reprogrammable Digital Waveform Generator (ORDWG) box. We begin with the advantageous starting point of our IPC-5000 reconfigurable platform which is TRL=9, then modify to enable GPS waveforms. The ability to survive the long term radiation in MEO orbits is a discriminating feature for our conceptual desing. BENEFIT: The Air Force will benefit by the ability to rapidlu upgrade future GPS (or similar)systems by uploading new GPS waveforms (both commercial and classified) from the ground stations.The projected SWaP is dramatically improved over existing hardware, and we expect the production cost to be a minimum of 50% lower than incumbents.
