Soldier's Local Area Networking Terminal (SLANT): An Architecture and AcquisitionStrategy for a Soldier's Radio. Phase 1

摘要

This proposal addresses the development of a Soldier's Radio Architecture (SRA),intended to define the interface and transfer characteristics of modules at the ASIC level, circuit level, software level, and man-machine I/C level, and to encompass and support the ready and frequent insertion of technology-driven and/or mission-driven upgrades in a family of Soldier Radio products. The design and evolution of the SRA will be monitored and informed by a national working group of vendors and users to be formed in this program, and the SRA will be completely open architecture within which vendors may competitively insert proprietary modules. Military applications of the concepts and radio network architecture to be developed in the proposed work are as numerous and inclusive as the Army's applications for voice, video and data communication. Commercial applications will include rapid evolution of radio network systems such as police, fireman, emergency workers, commercial pilots and truckers.
