Phase I

Contract Number: FA8750-20-C-1004
Start Date: 12/23/19    Completed: 12/23/20
Phase I year
2020
Phase I Amount
$149,961
The proposed solution has a novel adaptive antenna beamforming and beam-tracking solution for large scale array antennas necessary for extreme high frequency bands such as terahertz communication. The antenna beamforming solution is coupled with an efficient network topology management function to maintain an efficiently connected network as nodes move. Finally, a disruptive tolerant network routing solution is applied to the network to provide additional resilience during dynamic network conditions.

Phase II

Start Date: 4/5/22    Completed: 7/3/24
Phase II year
2022
Phase II Amount

The proposed solution has a novel adaptive antenna beamforming and beam-tracking solution for large scale array antennas necessary for extreme high frequency bands such as terahertz communication. The antenna beamforming solution is coupled with an efficient network topology management function to maintain an efficiently connected network as nodes move. The approach can work in concert with legacy omni-directional networks. Finally, a disruptive tolerant network routing solution is applied to the network to provide additional resilience during dynamic network conditions.
