Ft. Wayne, IN, USA – 30 June, 2008 — PrismTech Solutions Americas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PrismTech Corporation, has been selected to provide waveform portability support to the U.S. Navy’s software-defined radio (SDR) systems. The work will be conducted through a support services contract overseen by the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR). Scientific Research Corporation (SRC) serves as the prime contractor.
In this role, PrismTech Solutions Americas will work closely with SRC—which is providing technical and logistical support—to provide the Navy with support and expertise related to the authentication of Joint Tactical Radio Services (JTRS) waveforms and Software Communications Architecture (SCA) compliance.
“PrismTech has a rich history in providing high performance products, engineering and consulting services to the JTRS community,” said Dominick Paniscotti, president, PrismTech Solutions Americas. “These experiences provide us with invaluable insights into the types of waveform portability issues that JTRS radio developers face today.”
PrismTech has provided SDR and JTRS product and services—under its Spectra™ 2 product line—to numerous companies within the defense industry such as ITT Corporation, Rockwell Collins, Indra and SELEX Communications. The company also recently completed work for the Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) for JTRS to help define waveform portability industry guidelines.
“PrismTech engineers are uniquely positioned to provide the types of services the Navy requires to facilitate waveform compliance with SCA requirements,” said Paniscotti, who also is one of the original architects of the SCA. “We have extensive ‘best practices’ knowledge of how to authenticate and ensure the portability of delivered JTRS waveforms.”
