Abstract:

The U.S. Marine Corps USMC desired to develop short-range communications links whose ranges are intentionally limited to very short distances. These links support tactical missions such as LAN Backbone, Wideband Data Link, and Company Radio. The short-range limitation arises from the need for low probability of detection and intercept LPDLPI. Since the detection of an undecipherable transmission would still provide an enemy with information regarding transmitter location and allow him to take countermeasures, the Marine Corps Systems Command MARCORSYSCOM is sponsoring the development of technologies that can be LPD by their very nature. The Intentionally Short-Range Communications ISRC project at the Naval Command, Control and Ocean Surveillance Center NCCOSC RDTE Division NRaD is pursuing feasibility studies for these USMC missions based on such technologies as ultraviolet LTV lamps, UV lasers, infrared IR lasers, millimeter waves and direct sequence spread spectrum DSSS at radio frequencies.
