CHANTILLY, Va., Jan. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Perspecta Inc.
(NYSE: PRSP), announced today that its innovative applied
research arm, Perspecta Labs, has successfully demonstrated
long-distance, high-bandwidth data streaming between a test
aircraft and a fourth generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE)
ground network. The test was conducted at Edwards Air Force Base as
part of the Department of Defense (DOD) Cellular Range Telemetry
Network (CeRTN) program in collaboration with the DOD Test Resource
Management Center.
Perspecta Labs, then Vencore Labs, was awarded the CeRTN
contract in October 2016. Under the
program, Perspecta Labs was tasked with developing a system that
leverages commercial cellular technology for aeronautical mobile
telemetry (AMT) applications at DOD Major Range and Test Facility
Bases.
Perspecta Labs' Velocite is a novel solution that enables use of
low-cost commercial off-the-shelf LTE cellular technology to
deliver high-bandwidth data communications at supersonic aircraft
speeds. Velocite is vendor agnostic, operates without the need for
per-flight frequency coordination and provides bi-directional
high-speed data connectivity to aircraft. Velocite combines an
intelligent LTE network design with groundbreaking innovations to
reliably deliver high-bandwidth data communications for aircraft at
speeds of 1,000 kph and above.
"Perspecta Labs' Velocite solution offers considerable savings
in cost, time and resources for critical applications in flight
testing, training and operations," said Petros Mouchtaris, Ph.D.,
president of Perspecta Labs. "We are excited to mature this
technology from laboratory testing through successful field
demonstrations and to deliver these substantial benefits to our
customers."
Velocite's proprietary transceiver applique provides
state-of-the-art Doppler compensation and easily integrates with
any standard LTE user equipment to maintain a robust data
link. Perspecta Labs is developing, hardening and
transitioning Velocite to support a range of use cases for AMT in
performance evaluation, testing, training and operations for manned
and unmanned aircraft.
