Research abstract
STAR-H proposes to develop for the Army an antenna with a radiationpattern uniquely suited for NVIS operation. The proposed programconsists of three tasks: Survey of Potential Antenna Designs,Modeling of Candidate Antenna Geometries and Reporting. A specific, novelantenna concept is described, which has the potential to meet the Army'srequirements. As a result of pre-proposal modeling, there is a high degree ofassurance that the Army's NVIS requirements can be met with a practical,highly efficient antenna. Non-military applications may includecommunications with helicopters and airplanes during forest firefighting and a range of military and naval uses.
