Design of a Low-Power Cross-Domain Communication Buoy System

Abstract

To meet the cross-domain surfaced communication requirements of underwater information in cross-domain cooperative operations, a low-power cross-domain communication buoy system was designed by taking advantage of the buoy’s flexible deployment, long-term concealment, and flexible payload characteristics. This system mainly supported deep-sea deployment at great depths and long-term silent watch and concealed cross-domain communication upon activation. Additionally, it could autonomously destruct critical components according to preset instructions, thus avoiding the exposure risk of surfaced communication on underwater platforms such as submarines, and it is relatively easy to deploy and sustain. Test results indicate that the designed system features high pressure resistance, low power consumption, and certain scalability, offering good prospects for application.
