PR Newswire (US)
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (MILCOM, Booth #931)
-- Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) researchers will present five
papers that address challenges and solutions related to
network-centric battlespace communications during MILCOM 2008, the
premier military communications conference being held November
17-19 at the San Diego Convention Center. Topics, authors and
presenters are as follows: -- "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" The paper 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. It is co-authored by Dr. Jerry
Brand, who will present the paper, and Vlad Kowaliwskyj. -- "A
Comparison of FDD and TDD/TDMA Architectures for Airborne Backbone
Network Traffic" The paper addresses the design and development of
high-capacity, airborne, backbone IP networks to extend the DoD'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 co-authored by Dr. Stanley Adams, Dr. Bibb Cain, Pete Griessler,
and Keith Olds. Olds is chief systems architect for Battlespace
Networking at Harris and will present the paper. -- "Dynamic
Rejection of Multiple Co-site interferers through Wideband RF
Photonic Notch Filter" The paper 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. The five Harris technical papers being presented at MILCOM
2008 can be found at http://www.milcom.org/ . "Harris continues to
focus the talents and experience of its engineers and scientists on
the development of technologies and products that solve the
warfighter's need for assured and interoperable communications,"
said Wes Covell, president of Harris Defense Programs. "These
papers delve into the newest and most innovative approaches to
solving the communications challenges facing our military." Harris
Defense Programs develops, supplies, and integrates communications
and information processing products, systems, and networks for a
diverse base of aerospace, terrestrial and maritime applications
supporting U.S. Department of Defense missions. Harris is committed
to delivering leading-edge technologies that support the military's
ongoing transformation to network-centric communications. About
