JMCS SLICE
Digital implementation of new modulation techniques,
coding strategies and encryption devices makes Slice strategy possible.
Powerful signal processing and software reconfigurable radios can be implemented
in a compact, economical bus environment. The result: more radio, less
money. Complementary, multi-function antennas and RF distribution systems
make Slice a significant step forward.
Slice fields the following capabilities:
-
Through the Digital Modular Radio (DMR), satisfies
<2 GHz tactical terrestrial and SATCOM communications requirements
-
DMR provides flexible, adaptive, interoperable,
software configurable radios applying open systems architecture
-
Builds upon common NDI COTS/GOTS hardware and software
-
eliminates stand-alone stovepipe terminal systems
-
Exploits RF-Power Amplifier Technology
-
Implements Advanced Signals Protection (INFOSEC/TRANSEC)
-
Can tune and perform related functions within multiple
frequency spectrums
-
Can tune and perform related functions within multiple
frequency spectrums
-
Fields integrated, multiband and broadband antennas
such as Multi-functional Electromagnetic Radiating System (MERS) and Lo
Stack
DMR/Slice goals are to meet the existing requirements
from legacy programs, address present fleet requirements, and provide a
nucleus for hosting new waveforms, protocols, dynamically adaptive bandwidths
and power controls. This will result in radically more robust communications
within the spectrum, and provide a vehicle that is able to grow to meet
future demands.
