Harris researchers present five white papers at MILCOM 2008

SAN DIEGO, 18 Nov. 2008. Harris Corp. researchers will present five papers that address challenges and solutions related to network-centric battlespace communications during MILCOM 2008, held this week at the San Diego Convention Center. Harris can also be found at booth 931.

The first paper is "Available User Information Rate Capacities in Battlespace Network Centric Sensor Operations." The paper describes the delivery of timely warfighter information using Internet Protocols across various communications networks and discusses major aspects of a reliable network-centric operations communications system, as well as performance of required network elements. The paper is co-authored by Dr. Jerry Brand, who will present the paper, and Bob Bach.

"The Use of a Standard Backplane in a Modular Satellite Communications Terminal Architecture" is co-authored by Dr. Jerry Brand, who will present the paper, and Vlad Kowaliwskyj. Itr describes the use of a common or standard backplane architecture to provide a more useable and reusable reference model for modular satellite communications terminals. The paper also delves into a reference architecture's backplane formation from multiple perspectives, such as suggested hardware and software module features that facilitate re-usability as well as interoperability; and discusses an open system approach that makes it easy to add capabilities.

Keith Olds,. chief systems architect for Battlespace Networking at Harris will present the paper titled "A Comparison of FDD and TDD/TDMA Architectures for Airborne Backbone Network Traffic." It addresses the design and development of high-capacity, airborne, backbone IP networks to extend the Department of Defense's Global Information Grid into the tactical battlespace. The paper presents the architecture of general and airborne backbone networks through discrete event simulation methods. A network composed of FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) links is quantitatively compared to a network composed of TDD (Time Division Duplex) links. The paper is also co-authored by Dr. Stanley Adams, Dr. Bibb Cain, and Pete Griessler.

The paper titled "Dynamic Rejection of Multiple Co-site interferers through Wideband RF Photonic Notch Filter." It presents an optical technique to mitigate interfering signals by generating nulls at specific frequencies, using a dual-output Mach-Zehnder modulator, optical delay, and balanced detectors. The paper demonstrates the nulling of interfering signals by over 40 dB without attenuating the signal of interest. The paper is co-authored by Dr. Charles Middleton, who will present the paper, and Dr. Richard DeSalvo.

Dr. Vince Kovarik will present a classified paper that discusses a specific application for Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA)-enabled tactical handheld radios. The paper was co-authored by Dr. Kovarik and Dr. DeSalvo.
