Team Transportable Communications/Collection Suite

ITAC will research the latest in communication and collection technologies, and develop a plug and play, scaleable architecture to satisfy SOF portable command center needs. At the completion of Phase I, a demonstration will be provided of a seamless communications and collection capability, which can monitor a local communications/electronic warfare environment, coordinate the collection processes of remote sensors and forward deployed field units, correlate data from the various sensors, acquire relevant National information, and provide real-time situational awareness and threat warning to users within the network on meaningful geographic displays. The network based communications infrastructure will acquire data from remote sensors; share data with U.S. and coalition forces in the field; and receive the latest map, imagery and intelligence information from National assets. The broad based analytical tools and communications infrastructure will permit forward deployed forces to take a high-fidelity look at the signals environment and send back advanced signals for analysis. The results of analysis can then be forwarded to deployed units, updating threat information in real-time on the soldiers' threat displays, providing the field units access to analysts and linguists located at a safe location. The modular system will scale to large backpacks, transportable, and rack mountable units.
