Radiation Hardened End-to-End Communication Links

In this SBIR project MagiCom proposes several innovative concepts to provide high speed, in-flight communication links between the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Fire Control and Interceptor/Kill Vehicles such as the Ground Missile Defense – Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (GMD-EKV) and other potential platforms in a Nuclear Fading Channel / ECM Environments. The development of a Design for a Radiation Hardened Communications Link by use of novel concepts to allow an increase in data rate and reliability of future Ballistic Missile Defense (BMDS) end-to-end interceptor communication links operating through adverse conditions. A reconfigurable modem solution is defined, allowing a common communication system design suitable for cross-platform application.
