The integrator kit is the first phase in the much-anticipated launch of the 450mp multi-waveform, multi-orbit Software Defined Radio (SDR)/modem.

Key Points: 
  • The integrator kit is the first phase in the much-anticipated launch of the 450mp multi-waveform, multi-orbit Software Defined Radio (SDR)/modem.
  • The 450mp features an innovative modular three board design: radio (RF) module, common compute (digital) module and carrier board.
  • The waveforms are not limited to transponder satellite links but include Common Data Link (CDL) and other point-to-point links.
  • Furthermore, the industry standard digital interface of the 450mp common compute module enables a direct digital interface to RF transmitters and receivers.

The project advances technology that could advance the USAF High-Capacity Backbone (HCB).

Key Points: 
  • The project advances technology that could advance the USAF High-Capacity Backbone (HCB).
  • This recent award adds scope to develop an Advanced Networking capability and a Unified User Experience (UUX) to simplify the task for Airmen to setup Common Data Links (CDL) using the HALO software-defined digital beam-forming antenna system.
  • Cubics HALO Team is making exceptional progress in building the Gen 3 HALO despite a pandemic and a global shortage of electronic parts, said David Harris, vice president of Cubic Mission and Performance Solutions.
  • Verifying the Gen 3 building blocks design is a significant milestone toward network demonstration and production.
