This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will culminate in the demonstration of the smallest, most economical phased array system yet developed for addressing the problem of how to traverse the "last mile" between a broadband network and the home. During the course of the… More

Commercial wireless local area networks provide the Air Force the opportunity to lower network infrastructure costs, while allowing the user increased mobility and flexibility. The key factor limiting deployments of these IEEE 802.11 standard based networks is security. In this Phase I project… More

The Air Force has recognized that the future of networking relies on wireless technology that offers the capabilities of rapid deployment, mobile operations and increased productivity. In particular, in most environments faced by the warfighter, the only reasonable method of communications is… More

In this SBIR Phase I Fidelity Comtech will develop an architecture and high level design for monitoring the RF spectrum directly using a network of low cost Software Defined Radios (SDRs) with phased array antennas. By monitoring the spectrum directly, we will be able to detect threats and… More

In this SBIR Phase II proposal, we will deliver a prototype of a Software Defined Radio sensor that is capable of detecting and identifying a variety of modulation types. This sensor will provide improved situational awareness regarding transmissions in the area. The proposed sensor is unique in… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of building networks that can adaptively adjust their cell coverage (the geographic footprint of the radio signal) to optimize performance. These adjustments may be in response to changing environmental… More

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will demonstrate the ability of an adaptive antenna system ? a radio with an antenna that changes its radiation pattern to provide coverage where it is needed ? to automatically optimize coverage. Harsh RF environments, for example… More
