Missile-in Flight Communication Alternatives

ISAC, Inc. proposes the development, testing, and demonstration of a Mobile C2BMC SATCOM prototype capable of using a variety of military and government constellations. The MCA will provide an urgently needed mobile C2BMC SATCOM solution for the BMDS by employing multiple simultaneous SATCOM connections, including UHF, EHF, SHF (X, KA, and Ku Band), NATO, and commercial. During Phase II, ISAC will adapt its revolutionary new and proprietary communications architecture and requirements analysis tool for use in analyzing mobile C2BMC SATCOM requirements. ISAC will then develop a multiple simultaneous SATCOM for C2BMC software/hardware system design specifications, simulation, and software /hardware prototype. The MCA prototype will be tested and if feasible actually demonstrated at the JNIC using a live EHF connection by ISAC in the Phase II effort. The base effort deliverables consist of a complete hardware/software prototype system design along with a SATCOM simulation prototype that simulates at the JNIC an EHF link between a mobile C2BMC capable of worldwide deployment and a remote sensor. During Option 1, ISAC will complete development of the SATCOM prototype through TRL-5 and if feasible (based on SATCOM link, terminal, and facilities availability) ISAC will demonstrate the actual multiple simultaneous SATCOM prototype.
