Research abstract
Space Micro's uLINK ("micro-LINK") SDR system is a robust missile data link radio inserted in existing Army hardware to satisfy the multi-mission demands of the IFPC-inc2 requirements. Based upon the robust DCT software defined radio, and interfacing existing RF and antennae hardware, we have shown that we can operate and is as a legacy data-link for initial integration, and as a tri-band (S, C, and X-band) multi-link in highly congested fire solution environs—simultaneously maintaining up to 5 in-flight missile data links (MDLs) per band.
