Research abstract

This proposal presents a scope of work to develop an edge, personal communication device for the DoD to enable situational awareness anywhere. This device is based on a commercially available, credit-card-sized satellite communicator called a SatPaq. We propose significant innovation to provide a) very low probability of interception and/or detection [LPI/LPD]; b) Positioning Navigation and Timing [PNT] even through GPS-denied conditions; c) convenient messaging and images from anywhere; d) high immunity from jamming. With these new advances, the SatPaqs can provide meaningful, real-time situation information of all appropriate resources. Such knowledge enables chaotic situations to become much more productive.
