Future military operations will be multi-domain and will be conducted with unprecedented speed. Establishing and maintaining dominance in such a scenario requires the ability to distribute information from, to, and through all domains and make decisions at a speed our adversaries cannot match. Innoflight proposes the development of a Multi-Mode Modem that can switch between different satellite communication providers to provide resiliency and persistent high data rate communications. This effort leverages the software defined radio (SDR) and Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) technologies developed under the contractor’s Phase I effort. One application of interest is for Beyond-the-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) communications with Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV). Specifically, this Multi-Mode Modem will be able to support the MQ-9 Reaper class UAVs and all the design considerations that coincide.
