Our Participation in the Demonstration

ha-stuffDemonstration Description:

  • A Joint Chiefs of Staff-directed annual event engaging cutting-edge information technologies and addressing new information sharing capabilities and interoperability.
  • Evaluates technologies and capabilities for exchanging information among coalition partners, military services, government agencies, first responders and U.S. combatant commanders, especially the 2009 host, U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM).
  • Technologies leverage decision-making and operational flexibility on the battlefield and during crisis response on the home front.

High Altitude Federation Solution:

  • Bridge the “Last Tactical Mile” by providing robust communications down to dismounted teams/soldiers.
  • Meet emerging high bandwidth requirements with a hand held solution.
  • Supports multi-megabit full duplex operations.
  • Enable streaming media and instant messaging for the ground Warfighter.
  • Demonstrate CDMA cell switch interoperability at 1000 ft. AGL.
  • Provide 20 circuits utilizing 2 ruggedized ComCases providing 50 Wi-Fi and 18 Ev-DO PC connections to the Internet.
  • Deliver10 miles of persistent secure cellular service coverage.

Situation:

Current tactical radio systems used by dismounted teams/soldiers are too large, overly complex and do not provide enough bandwidth to support the emerging video-dominated environment of irregular warfare operations.

High Altitude Federation Joint Demonstration Objective - 22 to 30 June 09:

  • Demonstrate the benefit of persistent elevated communications nodes.
  • Focus on the tactical cellular switch in the sky (TACTICELL), leveraging new innovations in cellular technologies.
  • Provide the user with a hand held cell phone that supports voice, video and data.

•    Support national interest in developing high altitude operations
•    Conduct high altitude concept development and experimentation
•    Research vehicles and payloads to achieve optimization for high altitude
•    Develop capabilities and concepts of operations for aerostats in support of the DoD, Homeland Defense, and other regional and national interests
