ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC located at Griffiss Business & Technology Park in Rome and celebrating its 30th year of operation, was recently awarded a $5.4 million research and development contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) titled, “𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 (𝐇𝐀𝐖𝐂).”
The funding will be used to further advance the state-of-the-art in true-software-based waveform development for enhancing software-defined radio communications, networking, interoperability, and security.
ANDRO’s HAWC significantly reduces the time and cost to generate validated digital communications waveforms for the rapid field deployment of military radio platforms. The work is being performed at ANDRO’s Heisenberg Lab under the leadership of Dr. Ashwin Amanna, Chief Scientist – Research Sector.
Amanna credits ANDRO’s success with HAWC to his resolute research team and the forward-thinking vision of the AFRL Communications Mission Area Lead, Mike Gudaitis. Amanna stated, “This has been an exciting program to support because of the combination of hands-on engineering and meeting a real mission need. We get to work with the latest in off-the-shelf computer technology and see direct increases in our waveform capability. For the warfighter to succeed in a rapidly changing spectrum battlefield, we have to break the current dependency between the waveform and the hardware. It takes too long to implement waveforms let alone adapt them quickly. The True-Soft waveform development approach excels when considering time to development, modularity, portability, cost, and flexibility. We are accomplishing data rates and implementing complex waveforms in software today thought impossible only 10 years ago. ‘Faster – Better – Cheaper’ is a mantra we strive for. We are succeeding in this mission and participating side-by-side with traditional firmware approaches.” Amanna’s research team includes James Bohl, Zachary Goldsmith, William Blair III, David Díaz, Thomas Gadek, Tim Reichert, among others, all area residents.
