Questiny Group

On September 17, 2009 we were awarded a Phase II SBIR contract for the development of a prototype of our Land-mobile Satellite Network Simulator. We kicked off the contract in early October and have been working on the software design. We are employing UML to define the structure and create a generic design that can be easilly carried into other software environments. We have been so busy or blogging has taken a back seat, but I hope the New Year will bring a reinvoration of my blogging.

On January 10th, Questiny received notification from SPAWAR that they would exercise the option on our Phase I SBIR on Land-mobile Satellite Communications: Improved Mathematical Methods for Stressed Users. In addition, on January 25, 2009 we submitted our Phase II proposal to SPAWAR for consideration. Together, the Phase I Option and the Phase II effort will prototype an advanced discrete event satellite communications simulator for US military UHF satellite communications. This simulator employs our advances in land-mobile satellite channel models, and our advanced design in discrete-event radio propagation modeling. When completed, this tool will provide a comprehensive US military communications planning tool.
