Silvus Technologies and Information Assurance Specialists combined expertise to offer a high bandwidth and CSfC certifiable communications system for the HiMARS artillery system. This system has four pillars that together form a comprehensive solution for on-the-halt or on-the-move communication for a HiMARS battery: 1) interference immune networking, 2) low probability of detection (LPD)/low probability of intercept (LPI) networking, 3) high bandwidth networking, and 4) high information assurance (IA) networking based on the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC). We postulate that this High Throughput Mobile Artillery Network (HiTMAN) can take advantage of recent advances in radio frequency (RF) transceivers and digital processors and be built in a low size, weight, and power cost (SWaP-C) form factor.
Benefit: Silvus has observed significant demand for an LPI/LPD MANET. Many organizations (e.g, Army Cyber Battle Laboratory) have identified that current MANET systems are highly detectable and exploitable. An LPI/LPD MANET is definitely a future evolution of our product line, and we anticipate that this will be a game changer for military markets since an high throughput LPI/LPD MANET radio product does not exist in the military market so far. HiTMAN has the potential to provide a comprehensive solution for covert mobile artillery communications.
