Tender Description

Methods and technologies to improve communications with and between submarines.

The aim of this R&D activity is to identify methods and technologies that improve the performance of external submarine communications, both underwater to other submerged units, and to surface units consistent with the idea of a networked fleet.

The dimensions of performance include bandwidth, throughput, range, error, error resilience, and latency. The research may include quantum techniques and explore burst communications. Proposed solutions must also be cognisant of detectability, as well as Size, Weight and Power (SWAP).
