Back Development of a Low-Cost Tracking Antenna System for Medium Range Communications with Remote Manned or Unmanned Air and Surface Vehicles: Phase III
Fiscal Year | 2007 |
Division | Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science |
Department | Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering |
Investigator(s) | Jones, Kevin D. |
Sponsor | National Security Agency (Other-Fed) |
Summary | Develop, test and evaluate a limited number of GPS-based auto-tracking antenna prototype systems to work with a NTIO developed prototype Line-of-Sight (LOS) radio. This new prototype capability, if successful, will provide a very cost effective communications system with 1-3MHz of bandwidth that could be used by both military tactical ground units and tactical UAV platforms as a medium range (5-25 miles) IP-based communications link. The primary goal of this R&D initiative is to conduct demonstrations of this new prototype capability to our Military customers during the NPS sponsored TNT exercises. |
