Robust Communications

The proposed technology coined the Frost Secure Waveform (FSW), unlike prior methodology, secures the RF carrier itself, Layer-1 of the OSI Reference Model, as a discrete transmission element, as opposed to the information it carries. The signal becomes part of the GWN rendering it almost invisible to all except the intended communicants and even if detected, is extremely difficult to acquire. The modulation scheme and bandwidth transparent technology takes advantage of maturing DSP, FPGA and extremely accurate miniaturized, low power, timing oscillator technology making highly secure LPD-LPI-AJ possible for UCAVs and at all DoD equipment levels from fixed plant through personal hand held equipment. The technology provides increased signal orthogonality, permitting multiple FSW and other signals to coexist in the same spectral and physical locations. The FSW is capable of restricting communicants' operating locations and providing network element location information in mobile environments. LPD-LPI-AJ algorithm keys need never be exchanged over the air. One-time based keys are unique for each communication. The FSW is protocol, encryption and information transparent and may be used transmission facility for dynamic, wideband, high speed, self configuring networks. When integrated with eXOS Systems Coherent Informatics networking software, it will be full J-UCAS COS compliant.
