DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Washington, DC seeks vendors to deliver a software defined antenna service that enables interceptor-to-interceptor communications. This initiative requires the development of a flight antenna capable of providing secure, simultaneous communication across multiple nodes within meshed High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE) Zero Trust platforms and networks.
The desired system must offer wideband, quasi-isotropic (omnidirectional-like) coverage with advanced beam steering and shaping capabilities, including multi-beam transmit and receive functions. The antenna should be operable in frequency bands from S+ to Ka, and support transmissions over 250 km in both exo-atmospheric and endo-atmospheric hypersonic environments.
