 DARPA seeks industry help with 100 Gb/s radio frequency backbone

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is soliciting research
proposals for developing a communications link capable of transmitting data
at a rate of 100 gigabits per second within a single radio channel,
according to a Jan. 3 broad agency
announcement<https://www.fbo.gov/utils/view?id=93245636db4470c17d853e5a3c80270b>
from
DARPA's Strategic Technology Office.

The objective of the DARPA initiative is to design, build, and test a
communications link with fiber-optic-equivalent capacity in
airborne-to-airborne and airborne-to-ground configurations that can serve
as a deployable data backbone in a military communications network. The
agency envisions aerial and ground assets that provide 100 Gb/s capacity at
ranges of 200 km for air-to-air links and 100 km for air-to-ground links.

"The proposed program, 100G, should investigate innovative approaches for
using high-order modulation together with spatial multiplexing to achieve
spectral efficiencies greater than 20 bits-per-second-per hertz," states
the BAA.

In addition, DARPA wants the system to provide an all-weather (cloud, rain
and fog) capability while maintaining tactically-relevant throughput and
link ranges. The agency's goal is to meet the weight and power metrics of
the Common Data Link deployed by the forces today for high-capacity data
streaming from intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms.

DARPA hosted a proposer's day conference today to provide industry with
information about the solicitation. According to the agency announcement,
$18.3 million is available for Phase I of the effort, with multiple awards
expected for each of Phase I's three technology areas.
