High Speed Low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) Radio Frequency (RF) Communications Systems for Space-to-Space and Space-to-Terrestrial Applications
Summary
The Missile Defense Agency seeks to develop high‑speed, low size, weight, and power (SWaP) radio frequency communications systems for space‑to‑space and space‑to‑terrestrial applications, including miniaturized Ku‑band radios capable of gigabit data rates. This effort aims to enhance defensive communication capabilities for the layered missile defense architecture by providing secure, high‑bandwidth links that can operate in harsh space environments.
