Official Description

The use of RF cables has difficulty meeting environmental conditions while maintaining signal integrity and power requirements. Hypersonic surface temperatures can exceed over 1,000-degree C. Waveguides provide high power transmission and might be easier to manage under extreme hypersonic conditions.

The Navy seeks RF transmission that focuses on high frequency, is consistent performance across a vast range of extreme thermal temperatures, and provides long durations of high thermal loads. The...
