Presentation Title
Navy and Marine Corps Communications and Networking Science and Technology Investment
Abstract
Assured spectrum access is critical to military superiority, and demands for spectrum to handle the increasing emphasis on surveillance and greater information flow of modern, joint, dispersed forces has never been greater. This talk presents an overview of some of the unique naval and Marine Corps requirements which drive our investment philosophy on emerging wireless technologies that enable greater spectral efficiency and re-use. Included in this category are communications technologies (MIMO, UWB, free-space optics, phased-arrays) for efficient links, networking technologies (MANET, cross-layer, multicasting) to support greater throughput , and bandwidth sharing. When integrated coherently within the Network Centric Warfare framework, these technologies are expected to significantly improve combat power effectiveness by increasing battle force survivability, awareness and speed of command.
Biography
Santanu Das is Program Officer for Communications and Networking at the
Office of Naval Research where he manages sponsored applied/basic research, as well as advanced development projects, for Department of Navy and Department of Defense. He has over 20 years of applied R&D experience in the fields of optical networking and 3G wireless systems at AT&T Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies and OFS. As a past Chair of the
industry trade group FCA (FS-CWDM Alliance), he was responsible for commercialization of the full-spectrum Coarse Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (FS-CWDM) technology which created a major market for CWDM in metro, access and enterprise networks. He received the Bell Labs Distinguished Technical Staff Award in 1992, and has a Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. Dr. Das is a senior member of IEEE and a Fellow of IEE.
