The Department of Defense’s research arm wants to push wireless communications capabilities underwater and underground, exploiting little-used and difficult-to-access ultra-low frequencies.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency said it will talk with companies on Jan. 6 during an industry day event about its “A Mechanically Based Antenna (AMEBA) which, that could expand wireless communications into places where it has been almost non-existent.
Expanding wireless capabilities to those mostly inaccessible areas beneath oceans and continents, according to a Dec. 16 DARPA statement, can open a new world of data communications possibilities for soldiers and sailors.
