Innovative Position Navigation and Timing

PreTalens SBIR phase I special topic effort leverages the success of the Wideband Digital GPS Payload Architecture AF 171-076-0833 SBIR.This is a small form fit transmitter system that simultaneously generates multiple user-defined SW-controlled navigation signals and other signals across the 1 to 2 GHz RF band.This system, named DIGITALS, is composed completely of commercially available and reasonably-priced components through to antenna input and is supported by a software architecture tool named DIALS whose SW code will be directly leveraged for both the firmware and control functions during Phase II.Here, PreTalen will focus on three major task areas for the in-residence special studies to be conducted at the Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation in Colorado Springs, CO.Focus areas are Design and System Architecture, CONOPS and System Integration, Integrated System Lab and Field Test Requirements Planning.A unique feature of this effort is direct collaboration with up to two other vendors.
