The Department of Navy is offering this grant to foster discovery and invention in communications and networking technology, essential for achieving seamless, robust connectivity. This initiative is fundamental to the Sea Power 21 and FORCEnet Vision, ensuring critical information is available precisely when and where needed. Reliable, secure, and timely communications are vital for Command and Control systems and effective decision-making across all naval missions. As naval warfare evolves from platform-centric to network-centric, this grant aims to significantly enhance communication capabilities for C2, sensor, and weapon systems deployed on diverse manned and unmanned platforms. Research will address challenges posed by demanding battlefield conditions and varied operational environments, from space to undersea, to ensure high-capacity multimedia networks. This grant is for advancing naval operational superiority through cutting-edge connectivity.

| Description: | Communications technology that can provide seamless, robust, connectivity is at the foundation of the Sea Power 21 and FORCEnet Vision “… to have the right information, at the right place, at the right time …” The performance of Command and Control (C2) systems and decision making at all levels of command depend critically on reliable, interoperable, survivable, secure, and timely communications and networking, and the availability of high capacity multimedia (voice, data, imagery) communication networks is fundamental to nearly all Department of Navy missions.
The current evolution of naval warfighting from a platform-centric to a network-centric paradigm depends on successfully meeting the implied need for significantly enhanced communications and networking capabilities of C2, sensor and weapon systems. These systems are deployed on a variety of platforms and users, both manned and unmanned, operating under challenging battlefield conditions (lack of infrastructure, mobility, spectrum, interference, multipath, atmospherics, size/weight/power constraint, etc.) in different environments (space, terrestrial and undersea). |
