Whisper Android Vehicle Enhancement

ATAK has emerged as the de facto platform for shared situational awareness across a variety of DoD and Government Agencies. The platform relies upon continuous digital communication among a user team, without which it is reduced mostly to a mapping application. Providing the necessary data links for sharing data is not always easy or convenient, particularly when operating in a situation where traditional wireless communications do not work or cannot be used. During low-visibility missions, access to typical ATAK servers is difficult if not non-existent. DoD requires a Low Probability of Interception/Detection (LPI/LPD) wireless communication solution within a vehicle to instantly provide a local ATAK capability upon soldier ingress. Asymmetric proposes to develop Whisper Android Vehicle Enhancement (WAVE). A system using WiGig (IEEE standard 801.11ad) to provide the wireless solution. A preliminary investigation will be performed on using Whisper for vehcicle to vehcile communication as well.
