Research abstract
The Welkin Sciences/West Virginia University team proposes a fourfront approach for STTR solicitation MDA07-T101: 1) formulate a new interceptor communication system formed by adding a high-bandwidth relayed video downlink (RVD) to the Advanced Interceptor Data Link (AIDL) design currently being developed by Welkin Sciences under MDA SBIR MDA06-005; 2)upgrade the COMLNK simulation tool to include the capability to emulate and optimize the AIDL/RVD design; 3) upgrade the COMLNK Hardware Platform(CHP) rapid prototyping system to support user defined configurations of the AIDL/RVD architecture that can be evaluated using standard HWIL scintillation testing methods; and 4) design a radiation hardened AIDL modem signal processor that can be tested using standard radiation testing methods. This approach will give MDA a tested radiation-hardened interceptor communication system design that sends end-game imagery back to the ground and addresses the technical issues called out in the solicitation.
