58 -- MARKETING SURVEY FOR A WIDE BAND SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM POC Paul Bachelder (703)704-3069, FAX (703)704-1111, e-mail: pbacheld@nvl.mil. Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate is performing a marketing survey on presently available communications systems. These communications systems can compress, encrypt and send data files of up to a few hundred megabytes, from a deployed sensor in a relatively short time, to a receiver with a terminal (with data storage) over long range and worldwide. It is preferable that the transmitter operate in a Low Probability of Interception (LPI). The system should be hand-transportable or capable of being broken down into such packages. It will be carried by users in tactical/wartime situations and should be simple and quick to operate. It should be capable of operating off batteries and common foreign and US power sources. Respondents must have a secret security level clearance. Respondents will not receive payment or commitment from the government. (193)
