Silvus Executes Contract for US ARMY Network Modernization
$3M effort Delivers Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) for Congested & Contested Environments
Los Angeles, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Silvus Technologies announced today that it has successfully completed work under a $3M Rapid Innovation Fund (RIF) contract, funded through the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC), and sponsored by US Army's Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), Program Manager – Tactical Radio (PM-TR).
The effort, entitled "MANET for Congested and Contested Environments (MAN-CC)" enabled a targeted evolution of the StreamCaster Software Defined Radio and Mobile Networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) waveform.
StreamCaster is a Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) TRL9 radio which combines resilient networking, high throughput physical layer processing, intuitive user interface, and well-vetted hardware and software. The MAN-CC effort enhanced StreamCaster with three powerful new features: 1) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) certified encryption to enable protected transmission of secret information, 2) anti-jam capabilities in the MANET waveform to operate in a congested and contested electromagnetic spectrum, and 3) a highly agile spectrum sensor application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for radio frequency (RF) situational awareness.
MAN-CC aligns with the U.S. Army's overarching effort to insert commercial capabilities into its tactical network, which is addressing gaps to enable a robust Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency (PACE) plan for Soldiers who are confronted with contested or congested environments. The 12-month effort event included a Field-based risk reduction (FBRR) to validate the contract deliverables, and culminated in a Technical Feasibility Assessment (TFA) where soldiers from the Army's 82nd Airborne deployed the equipment in support of the Mobility Guardian Exercise at Yakima Training Center.
