Abstract

To increase knowledge and competence related to methodology and technology for multi-band and multi-standard wireless communication in future network centric warfare, FOI Sensor Technology has participated in a research and development project called "SoCTRix". The SoCTRix project has included participants from both national and international universities, research institutes and private companies. The primary goal of the project has been to demonstrate possibilities to realize a highly integrated and low cost radio transceiver suitable for multi-standard and multi-band wireless communication. In this report, we summarize the main results and conclusions derived from the SoCTRix project. Certain emphasis is given to key areas where FOI has contributed with research and development work. We further discuss possibilities and worldwide trends in using more flexible communication systems in future network centric warfare.
