Virtual communications network
The research and development expertise of BAE Systems Advanced Technology Centre delivers innovative, secure communication networking solutions.
Our services range from consultancy studies to operational real-time and applications software development; hardware design to systems engineering. Customers also find our services providing communication system performance modelling and prediction in realistic environments as invaluable assets in the increasingly complex world of communications solutions.
Our aim is to ensure the networks of the future are secure, dynamic and highly flexible. This is why we lead the development of wireless ad hoc networking that provides the means to connect highly mobile individuals, aircraft, land vehicles and unmanned platforms without a pre-existing infrastructure.
Our networking solutions utilise advanced communication bearers which are robust to interference and jamming. Alternatively, using our systems engineering and technology integration expertise, commercial off the shelf (COTS)
technologies are used when appropriate. With our capabilities embracing a wide range of applications, from short-range high-bandwidth networked communications between land vehicles to software defined radios that support
communications with space probes at the extremes of the solar system, ATC is well equipped to ensure our customers are provided with the optimum solution to meet their needs.
Given the ever increasing competition for finite spectrum resources,customers find our expertise in the development and delivery of advanced spectrum management applications invaluable.
We supplement our leading edge research by leveraging on established relationships and partnerships within a knowledge-network spanning academic, industrial and government organisations. We work in partnership with our
customers to deploy multi-disciplinary teams tailored to meet their unique requirements.
Our aim is to ensure the networks of the future are secure,dynamic and highly flexible.
