Scalable Parallelized Link data Transmission Through Embedded Referencing

To address the Army need for advanced data stream disassembly and reassembly solutions, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Scalable Parallelized LInk data Transmission Through Embedded Referencing (SPLITTER) technology. SPLITTER consists of two hardware elements: a satellite side data disassembler and a ground-station-based reassembler. It is based on advanced self referencing framing techniques, metadata embedding, multilayered error correction, and intelligent data splitting. The innovative low-overhead (<3%) framing techniques guarantee accurate reassembly of data irrespective of frame arrival order and easily manage latencies>250 ms that plague existing SATCOM solutions. Integrated error-correction eliminates data replication needs and enables simplex operation. Dedicated hardware coupled with a computationally simple implementation support data rates>512 Mbps. Development risk is minimized as SPLITTER is based on existing technology developed for SPAWAR Pacific. As a result, SPLITTER directly satisfies the Army need for data disassembly/reassembly technologies. In Phase I, POC will define the system requirements and CONOPS. We will then design and develop a proof of-concept prototype and demonstrate it to the Army. In Phase II, we will fabricate the Phase I design which will be tested in accordance with Army requirements. Concurrently, our marketing team will identify transition paths for the technology.
