Summation Research, Inc (SRI) today announced the award of a Phase 1 SBIR contract by AFWERX under a Commercial Solutions Opportunity solicitation. The Air Force CSO program enables the U.S. Air Force to adapt cutting-edge, commercially available technology to rapidly and affordably address difficult technical challenges.
SRI was selected to upgrade its commercially available RF Exciter and Telemetry Test Signal Simulator to adequately model and simulate complicated RF signal impairments due to the plasma sheath effects of hypersonic flight. The proposed Hypersonic Telemetry Channel Simulator (HTCS) extension to SRI’s RM‐6300 RF Exciter and Telemetry Signal Simulator will help accelerate the development, optimization, and testing of vehicle command and control RF links during hypersonic flight.
