Automated High Frequency (HF) Communications Planner

The goal of this SBIR is to develop an automated HF communications planner that enables legacy and future systems to leverage real-time ionospheric propagation information and high-fidelity prediction data. This will make HF communications easy, automated, and mission capable. In the proposed Phase II Base effort, we will focus on refining and integrating our automated HF communications planning construct with an existing PMW/A-170 Program of Record. This will be achieved by an iterative, spiral development process that relies on high-fidelity modeling and simulation. In the Option efforts, we will focus on integrating elements of our planning construct with two other SBIR-derived Caliola products.
