Research abstract

Asymmetric proposes to develop software and firmware to optimize data exfil throughout Whisper devices. This includes making the Whisper system have additional, tuneable capabilities to increase LPI/LPD characteristics. The current methods utilized by Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel to maintain secure, covert and reliable data transmission in hostile environments is difficult and mission critical and have slow data rates, adding unneeded mission time and burden to operators. Enhancing Whisper capabilities by reducing size, weight, and power (SWaP) while increasing radio frequency (RF) range and data rates for mission communications will save lives and greatly increase the chances of mission success. Traditional RF transmission options also have relatively high probability of detection and interception, which presents an operational security risk that could be mitigated with Whisper's low probability of intercept/low probability of detection (LPI/LPD) RF modalities.
