A detailed feasibility study of the most viable options for RF dual mode communications for enhanced survivability will be conducted. Three major configurations will be investigated and compared. Adept has developed a network analysis tool for survivable topologies that will be used to perform a survivability-cost-performance tradeoff between the different configurations. The feasibility of the best approach will be demonstrated. Existing capability in will be highly leveraged.
Benefits: Enhanced survivability for component level automation infrastructure. Enhanced reliability for commercial applications.
