  • Miniature Rb Atomic Clock Improves Military Communications Performance

    This whitepaper was adapted from material presented at the 2021 Joint Navigation Conference by David Garigen (Orolia Defense & Security). Co-Authors Include: Alaiya Tuntemeke-Winter (Orolia Defense and Security), Serge Grop (Orolia), and Stavros Melachroinos (Orolia). Home • PNT Library • Miniature Rb Atomic Clock Improves Military Communications Performance Miniature Rb Atomic Clock Improves Military Communications Performance DOWNLOAD PDF By Multiple Contributors David Garigen (Orolia Defense & Security) Alaiya Tuntemeke-Winter (Orolia Defense and Security) Serge Grop, Stavros Melachroinos (Orolia) The mRO-50 is Orolia’s new low SWaP-C miniaturized rubidium oscillator. It is an innovative new atomic clock designed to meet core requirements for military ground and mobile radio communications applications. While maintaining the same volume as a standard oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO), it provides better holdover and higher stability with the lowest power consumption amongst other miniature atomic clocks (MACs) in the market. It can be a drop-in replacement for many applications. The mRO-50 is lower cost than a Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC), and due to its superior performance, small footprint, and low power consumption, it can be applied to many different applications. Namely, in telecommunications systems, it can improve the data throughput performance of networking waveforms, along with many non-networking waveforms. It can do this because its superior holdover and Allan deviation reduce the size of the guard bands, maximizing the volume of information that can be passed between radios. Figure 1: Orolia's mRO-50 The transfer and acquisition of time in DoD and commercial applications from both GNSS and non-GNSS sources has become an important topic in recent decades with greater demands for precision. Many atomic clock products have been designed to strike a balance between performance and cost that allow these goals to be met. This paper describes how the use of the mRO-50 addresses problems that can be seen on ground or mobile platforms using the LTE waveforms as example. The importance of oscillator holdover and the benefits of synchronizing radios in the field are also discussed. The SWaP-C of the mRO-50 now opens the door for systems integrators to use atomic clocks in manpack and vehicular radio applications, replacing what has traditionally been a TCXO. Modern radio communication requires that the transmitter and the receiver are tightly synchronized. This is to allow faster frequency hopping as well as the ability to network at high data rates largely due to a reduction in the size of the “guard bands”. A great example of the benefits of time synchronization is LTE, a commercial networking waveform that is focused on high data throughput. The evolution of this waveform is indicative of the evolution of other, similar waveforms. Referencing table 1 below, one can see that the time/phase requirement of LTE is 1.5us, and the time/phase requirement of LTE-A is 500ns. In one generation, the waveform’s synchronization requirement got tighter by a factor of 3. Table 1: LTE and LTE-A Requirements For commercial radios, such as cell phones, a high precision sync can be achieved using commercial GPS.The problem with relying on GNSS signals is that, in military applications especially, they can become unavailable due to jamming and spoofing by adversaries- or by natural effects, such as “urban canyons”, or natural canyons, blocking a direct line of sight to satellites of interest. There are also instances in cities and in the field where devices can enter these areas for extended periods of time. In these GPS denied environments devices can no longer sync using GPS, forcing the device into holdover. When in holdover it is important for radios to maintain a precise clock. Though some waveforms have features to help keep them synced without GPS, these features limit data throughput because they use bandwidth for sending sync pulses instead of data. In many commercial devices the oscillator will quickly drift away from the actual time. Below we can see a comparison of holdover performance of common Oscillators using LTE and LTE-A as reference. Figure 2: mRO, OCXO, and TCXO Comparison When coming out of holdover, if a device is out of sync with its peers, it will need to synchronize before any meaningful communications can be performed. In this situation, many waveforms will need to enter a “cell search” mode or some equivalent form of peer synchronization prior to communicating. A cell search will waste time (it can take minutes for this sync to complete)- and it will force the user to perform multiple transmissions, increasing the opportunity of detection by an adversary. If, on the other hand, an atomic clock is used (such as an mRO-50)- and synchronization is maintained, the user can immediately start communicating- without the need for a cell search. Guard Bands The waveforms used in modern military radios operate by assigning time slots to users to allow them to simultaneously pass information (as observed by the operator). This technique in telecommunications is known as time division multiple access (TDMA). Thus, if there are many users in a group, such as an infantry platoon, then they can all transmit and receive on the same frequency, as the precise transmit and receive times are sliced and allocated amongst the users. Each time slot, however, requires some time at the start and at the end, known as “guard bands”, to prevent the radios from “talking over each other” and destroying the message. If the radios are all perfectly synchronized, then the guard bands can be reduced to zero- and data throughput is maximized. In reality the radios are not well synchronized, and these guard bands can become significant, wasting valuable spectrum that could otherwise be used to pass more data. Thus, by improving the synchronization of the radios, the telecommunications system can maximize the data that can be passed over the air. The mRO-50 improves the timing synchronization, compared to a standard CSAC, by an order of magnitude due to its superior Allan deviation, bringing the system close to the ideal data throughput. Figure 3: Why does sync matter? Low SWaP-C, high precision atomic oscillators such as the mRO-50, also open the possibility for usage in UAV sensor payloads. These payloads often use GNSS to synchronize their clocks with other parts of the system. GPS outages can be problematic for both the UAV’s communications links and its inertial navigation systems (INS). The high stability of the atomic clock as the INS time base reduces the time integration error drift during extended GNSS outages, along with the telecommunications benefits already discussed. When the GNSS signal is disrupted, the UAV switches to the stable time base provided by the mRO-50 and can “coast” without a signal to maintain operations. The superior holdover time, offered by a mRO-50, allows the user to coast for a very long time. In fact, even when compared to a standard CSAC, the mRO-50 holdover time is more than 5x better in one day. New possibilities for telecommunications systems and UAV sensor payloads have been realized with the advent of low SWaP-C atomic clocks, such as the mRO-50. Early adaptations of these advanced technologies keep our warfighters equipped with the best technologies and provide them with the tactical edge on the battlefield. Conclusion The importance of precision in the acquisition of timing from GNSS and non-GNSS sources has increased in recent decades. Many atomic clock products have been designed to strike a balance between performance and cost that allow this new degree of accuracy to be met. The mRO-50 is Orolia’s new low SWaP-C Miniaturized Rubidium Atomic Clock, specifically designed to meet core requirements foreground, and mobile radio communications applications in terms of weight, size, and performance. It will enable more advanced telecommunications systems and the resilience of UAVs and other GNSS dependent technologies. This technology can be a drop-in replacement for a simple upgrade, yielding superior performance in various applications. DOWNLOAD PDF

  • Land Vehicle Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments for Defense Applications

    An Inertial Navigation System (INS) that provides reliable position and heading data is a unique backup solution because it allows vehicles to stay on course and maintain awareness of where they are without a GPS connection Home • PNT Library • Land Vehicle Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments for Defense Applications Land Vehicle Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments for Defense Applications DOWNLOAD PDF By Anthony Full Problem We Solve In order to safely travel from one location to another during an operation, or maintain navigation capabilities in a contested environment, ground vehicle crews need ways to protect against GPS satellite signal threats and ensure that they reach their intended destination. Operating in a GNSS-denied environment presents challenges to most navigation systems, because they can either be jammed, or deceptively guided off course via spoofing attacks. An Inertial Navigation System (INS) that provides reliable position and heading data without the aid of GPS satellite signals is a unique backup solution because it allows vehicles to stay on course and maintain awareness of where they are as if they never lost connection with GPS. An INS can provide the critical current-location data and ensure that other navigation equipment continues to operate during the mission. Why Is It Important Precise location and navigation capabilities are essential for mission planning, execution and coordination with other units. Inaccurate navigation can lead to mission failure, unintended engagements, or even friendly fire incidents. Ground vehicles in defense operations often navigate in challenging environments where traditional GPS signals are contested or unreliable. This includes dense urban areas, heavily forested regions, or any areas where enemies employ electronic warfare to disrupt GPS signals. Navigating accurately in such conditions is crucial for mission success and the safety of personnel. Therefore, having a robust navigation system that can provide both location of the vehicle real time as well as its precise orientation and direction/heading is of paramount importance for defense applications. In the figure above, we can see that when a vehicle passes through an GNSS-denied area, its navigation system might be thrown off and report a different location compared to the true position. However, with an accurate INS, it can continue along the intended route as well as stay free from excessive drift. Drift occurs when the navigation system is not using external signals for navigation, but rather evolving in pure inertial conditions and over time, the accuracy worsens. Of course, there are different grades of accuracy for navigation depending on your needs. And we’ll cover the most relevant solutions next. How We Solve it Safran has developed a dependable inertial navigation system – The Geonyx – that provides route guidance in GNSS-denied environments. The Geonyx ensures that the vehicle can navigate effectively in spite of satellite signal interference. It incorporates HRG technology and, unlike GPS, INS does not rely on external satellite signals for navigation and heading. Instead, it uses motion sensors and rotation sensors to calculate the position, orientation and velocity of the vehicle based on internal data. The Geonyx will output coordinates of the vehicles current location as well as the data on its intended position to the vehicle’s battle management system (BMS). The Geonyx is able to maintain an outstanding level of accuracy of a couple meters after tens of miles of pure inertial navigation. GEONYX INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM Geonyx is a combat-proven INS solution for ground vehicles, augmenting battle management systems. With its ruggedized design, it offers a virtually unlimited and maintenance-free lifespan. It can achieve a heading accuracy as good as 0.5 mils thanks to HRG Crystal technology. It has quick and flexible alignment – even in GNSS-denied environments. DOWNLOAD PDF

    Explore the advantages of Open Systems Architecture in military defense with MOSA & CMOSS. Enhance flexibility and interoperability with this modular approach. Home • Applications • MOSA & CMOSS MOSA & CMOSS: Advancing PNT Through Open Systems Architecture What is MOSA? • What is CMOSS? • What is CMFF? • Why CMOSS? • How is CMOSS Being Implemented? • CMOSS Architecture What is MOSA? The Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) is a DoD-mandated strategy that ensures interoperability, scalability, and rapid modernization across defense platforms. CMOSS is a direct implementation of MOSA, enabling cross-service compatibility and vendor-agnostic solutions. MOSA prioritizes open standards, such as: CMOSS – Standardized architecture for C5ISR/EW systems SOSA™ – Sensor Open Systems Architecture for joint-service interoperability VITA 65 / OpenVPX™ – Open hardware standards for embedded systems By aligning CMOSS with MOSA principles, the DoD ensures that future systems are: More affordable due to vendor competition More flexible through plug-and-play technology More resilient with built-in cybersecurity & anti-obsolescence strategies What is CMOSS? CMOSS is a suite of open standards designed to reduce size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) of C5ISR and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. By enabling hardware and software interoperability, CMOSS enhances flexibility , adaptability , and modularity across military platforms. CMOSS moves away from traditional “stove-piped” systems that require separate, proprietary hardware. Instead, it leverages a modular, standards-based approach that allows multiple vendors to develop interoperable solutions. What is CMFF? The CMOSS Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) expands CMOSS-based architectures for mounted vehicle platforms, providing: Compact, ruggedized hardware for combat vehicles & mobile platforms Seamless integration of communications, EW, & SIGINT functions Standardized interfaces for rapid capability upgrades CMFF ensures that ground vehicles benefit from the same CMOSS-based advantages seen in other military domains. Key Acronyms MOSA = Modular Open Systems Approach EW = Electronic Warfare CMOSS = C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards CMFF = CMOSS Mounted Form Factor C5ISR = Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance CMOSS and the SOSA Initiative CMOSS is a foundational component of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA)™ initiative, which the U.S. Military actively participates in. SOSA aligns with MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach), ensuring common standards for open, adaptable, and rapidly upgradable military systems. LEARN MORE Safran Federal Systems is a proud member of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ Consortium. Why CMOSS? Historically, C5ISR and EW systems have been developed independently, leading to incompatibility and inefficiencies. CMOSS creates a unified architecture that integrates these technologies into a single, interoperable framework, delivering key advantages: Reduces Integration Costs & Risks Standardized interfaces simplify development and deployment Extends System Lifespan Modular upgrades prevent costly full-system replacements Facilitates Interoperability & Reuse Multiple vendors can contribute to a common ecosystem Accelerates Fielding & Deliveries Open architecture speeds up new technology adoption By converging multiple functions into a shared hardware and software ecosystem, CMOSS provides military forces with a future-proof, scalable solution for modern battlefield operations. How is CMOSS Being Implemented? CMOSS is actively shaping next-generation military systems by standardizing hardware, software, networking, and data sharing across platforms. There are several key components of CMOSS implementation: Universal A-Kit Enables plug-and-play fielding of new capabilities via modular cards in a common chassis Pooled RF Resources Shared antennas & amplifiers for Communications, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) systems Integrated Processing & Displays Shared computing resources enhance situational awareness & decision-making Common PNT Data Services Standardized Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT) services for all mission-critical systems CMOSS Architecture Software Layer • Enables portability of software applications across hardware platforms • Allows mission-specific software framework Functional Decomposition • Enables resource sharing (e.g., RF components, antennas, amplifiers) • Defines standardized interfaces for seamless integration • Supports best-of-breed rapid technology upgrades Hardware Layer • Enables capabilities to be fielded as cards in a common chassis • Standardizes physical, electrical, and environmental specifications Network Layer • Provides connectivity and defines interfaces within the platform • Enables legacy systems to integrate with the converged architecture U.S. Army Selects Safran Federal Systems as a Top-5 Winner in XTech CMOSS PNT Plugfest Competition Safran Federal Systems (formerly Orolia Defense & Security) was recognized for its outstanding technology achievements at the 2021 xTech Plugfest competition.
