United Kingdom: BAE Systems Completes Real-Time Test of Military Wireless Communication Technology.

BAE Systems reported it has completed the first real-time mobile tests of new wireless military radio technology designed to help warfighters dispense communications without interruption during battle. The technology allows more traffic on more networking systems, giving users an advantage during air-to-air, air-to-ground, and soldier-to-soldier communications.

Under a $15.5 million Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract, the company is developing wireless radios that can untangle interfering digital communications signals. The DARPA Interface Multiple Access, or DIMA, program aims to greatly increase network capacity and performance in highly congested mobile networks. The radios will allow multiple transmissions to occur simultaneously on one frequency and can support as many as five simultaneous conversations into the same time and frequency slot, even in the presence of severe near-far interference.

"With current technology, bandwidth is shared through assignment of time slots, frequency slots, or code words for each user, significantly limiting network performance," said Dr. Brian Pierce of DARPA. "DIMA buys back the capacity loss caused by those limitations with technology that separates multiple, interfering digital signals."

Known as multi-user detection, BAE Systems noted its real-time technology enables users to communicate simultaneously on the same channel without centralized control or infrastructure. Recent experiments validated the technology in a mobile, ad-hoc network environment and demonstrated the vehicle-mounted DIMA radio's ability to receive up to five simultaneous transmissions from different users while traveling at 15 mph.
