Description: Bennett Aerospace and Team Partners propose to develop a small, lightweight, and very power-efficient mobile radio for use on the Lunar surface. Our Team will achieve a design that meets NASA size and mass requirements while reducing power consumption by more than 90%. We will accomplish this through innovative approaches in power management and RF front end design.

Benefits: The radio technology proposed here will have direct applicability to commercial sector mobile phone platforms and US Department of Defense (DOD) mobile radios.

The radio technology proposed here can be purchased by NASA for future EVA and Lunar EVA missions.
