Vencore“™s research arm has received a potential three-year, $6 million contract from the Defense Department to develop a cellular technology platform for use in aeronautical mobile telemetry.
Vencore Labs will build a prototype system under DoD“™s Cellular Range Telemetry Network program, the company said Tuesday.
The proposed prototype will leverage commercial cellular technology platforms designed to transmit telemetry data derived from high-speed test vehicles as well as lessen the amount of spectrum needed to conduct evaluation activities at DoD“™s test facilities and ranges.
Vencore Labs has offered support to the U.S. Army in its efforts to address security and mobility challenges for commercial tactical wireless networks.
