Research abstract
The United States Navy must operate in a wide range of tactical scenarios where high-data networking is leveraged to share vital ISR data. These networks require increasingly wider bandwidths that must fit in an already congested spectrum space. The ability to transition existing CDL hardware to higher frequencies, where spectrum contention is not a problem, could be another strategic tool in the Navy’s communications strategy. It is FIRST RF’s goal to offer a low-cost RF based applique on existing CDL terminals to unlock bandwidth at additional frequency bands.
