INFORMATION ARCHITECTURES FOR SMALL PLATFORM (SPIA)

As a total systems engineering company, SYNEXXUS is a pioneer in designing, developing and fielding adaptive information systems for small platforms.  SYNEXXUS provides clients with the ability to rapidly insert emerging technologies and reconfigure vehicles to operate in complex spectral and harsh environments.  SYNEXXUS' is focused on developing SPIA for a variety of uses.  Ideally suited for the defense industry, this capability provides geographically dispersed units with a broader base of operational options to counter an adversary's constantly changing tactics.  A similar approach can easily adapt this use our information architectural approach for use in the commercial market.

To date, SYNEXXUS has focused on two specific programs for SPIA: The Electronic Keel and an XMCOM X-band satellite communication-on-the-move terminals to our clients.

ELECTRONIC KEEL

The Electronic Keel is a genuine plug and play data distribution system that can operate on any vehicle with any sensor, communication module and protocol or device within the same network.  It is a dynamic, resource oriented, open architecture for small mobile platforms.  The architecture is based on a 1 GB LAN open standard data bus that can rapidly reconfigure for changing technology, missions and threats.  It contains super-computing power with full internal and external networked capability.  The primary objective of this data-bus is to inexpensively and rapidly integrate any Internet Protocol (IP) based weapon system, communication module or sensor package.  It is purposely designed to easily and readily adapt to changing threats by its ability to insert emerging technology into either existing platforms or new construction.  In addition to reliably sharing information, this operational information backbone can operate and control large numbers of unmanned systems such UAV's, remotely command and control a wide array of on-board and off-board sensors and weapons without additional cost to architecture.  The Electronic Keel can easily adapt within a platform framework and can be modified without significant integration costs.

Historically, small platforms are strapped by the increasing cost of integrating sub-systems onto the chassis, restricted by power available inside the platform and have difficulty adding new capabilities as the operational environment changes.  The Electronic Keel allows for a quantitative approach to solve these complex engineering system challenges by inherently designing flexibility into the system to meet near term and future operational demands.

In late 2007, SYNEXXUS designed and delivered a networked based architectural approach that could readily and affordably integrate and network sensors, communication modules and weapon systems for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP).

XMCOM X-BAND GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS FOR SMALL MOBILE PLATFORMS

SYNEXXUS has positioned itself as the premier service provider of mobile comms on the move X-BAND satellite service.  Using X-BAND frequency, SYNEXXUS provides complex communication system network capability to meet the needs of its customers.  XMCOM is a communications on the move antenna, software and hardware that provides mobile tactical teams with high-capacity miniature terminals interoperable with existing networks.  The XMCOM X-BAND service inexpensively and rapidly networks any weapon system, communication module, or sensor package for small mobile platforms.

Benefits of using X-BAND

• X-BAND satellites are widely spaced and not subject to side lobe interference
• X-BAND offers full ocean coverage
• X-BAND is not subject to performance degradation in severe weather
• Commercial X-BAND service is leased to U.S. and Allied governments only

SYNEXXUS will deliver terminals, supporting hardware and software to be used as either a developmental platform, training unit or deployable asset.
