Adaptive, modular, and secure multi-modal communication system with integrated environmental resilience

Abstract

An adaptive modular multimodal communication and computing panel includes a multilayer stack with a protective layer transmissive in selected bands, a reconfigurable communication layer operable in phased array, reflectarray, hybrid phased reflector, free space optical, or quantum modes, and electronics with heterogeneous processors. A multi scale interconnect and input and output fabric couples electrical, radio frequency, guided optical, and free space optical domains through interfaces including electro optic transduction and RF or baseband conversion. The fabric may implement programmable true time delay, resonators, and comb referenced timing. A management system coordinates beamforming, sensing, routing, calibration, workload placement, and security. Panels tessellate and connect by electrical, radio frequency, and fiber optic interfaces, supporting hot swappable modules, blind mate connectors, robotic servicing, and anti tamper features. Power and thermal subsystems harvest, store, regulate, and dissipate energy. The architecture scales from chip level modules to vehicle, airborne, maritime, orbital, and deployable systems.

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 683, 245, filed 08 / 15 / 2024, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to secure, adaptive, and reconfigurable platforms integrating communication, computing, sensing, and control. More specifically, it concerns modular systems that unify multi-domain communication, high-performance and photonic computing, quantum subsystems, and Al-driven management for operational control and health monitoring. The invention is deployable across terrestrial, maritime, airborne, orbital, and robotic environments, including manned and unmanned vehicles, industrial and consumer systems, and fixed or portable infrastructure. It supports current and emerging modalities such as radio-frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, terahertz, optical, photonic, quantum, acoustic, and other energy domains.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Modern communication and computing systems must perform reliably in environments characterized by motion, vibration, temperature extremes, electromagnetic interference, radiation, and cyber intrusion.

[0004] Conventional designs lack adaptability, cross-domain integration, and embedded intelligence. Computing and communication functions are typically separated, producing latency, inefficiency, and limited resilience under changing conditions.

[0005] Existing systems rarely maintain optimal alignment of antennas or sensors during motion, provide limited modularity for upgrades, and offer incomplete protection against electromagnetic, optical, or physical attack, including interference from their own transmissions.

[0006] Communication modalities such as optical, photonic, and quantum technologies remain isolated from radio-frequency architectures, creating fragmented ecosystems and inconsistent security frameworks. Consumer, industrial, and defense systems often operate on incompatible platforms, preventing unified control, end-to-end protection, and coordinated Al-driven optimization.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The invention provides an adaptive, modular, and secure multi-modal communication and computing system designed to overcome the limitations of existing architectures. The system integrates structural, communication, computing, and thermal-power layers within a unified, AI- managed platform.

[0008] In at least one embodiment, a protective structural layer shields against kinetic, electromagnetic, thermal, and environmental threats while remaining transmissive within operational frequency bands. A communication layer, operatively coupled thereto, supports phased-array, reflectarray, free-space optical, and quantum modes, with hybrid configurations for cross-domain operation.

[0009] A computing subsystem hosts heterogeneous processors, including classical, photonic, hybrid optical-electrical, and quantum devices, operable in local, edge, or distributed mesh configurations. A thermal-power subsystem harvests, regulates, and redistributes energy using passive and active elements such as vapor chambers and thermoelectric modules under Al control.

[0010] The system employs modular, serviceable design enabling hot-swappable components, robotic servicing, and field upgrades without downtime. Embedded anti-tamper safeguards, anomaly detection, and cryptographically enforced access control uphold zero-trust security principles. Hardware, firmware, and control logic operate interdependently so that unauthorized separation or modification triggers safe-state behavior.

[0011] Al-enabled interposers dynamically reconfigure signal pathways, enforce on-device cybersecurity, and balance workloads across heterogeneous processors. This architecture supports high-bandwidth, low-latency communication across radio-frequency, optical, photonic, and quantum domains.

[0012] The invention supports integration with robotic and autonomous systems, enabling manual, semi-autonomous, or autonomous control via a unified human-machine interface applicable to vehicles, rovers, drones, and exoskeletons.

[0013] The platform is manufacturable using scalable aerospace- and consumer-grade processes, employing materials resilient to impact, interference, radiation, and thermal extremes. It may be embodied in terrestrial, maritime, airborne, orbital, and deep-space environments while maintaining common interface standards and operational control logic.

[0014] By unifying multi-modal communication, adaptive Al computing, environmental resilience, and cross-platform compatibility within a single scalable framework, the invention departs from specialized, single-purpose systems. It reduces lifecycle cost, enhances mission adaptability, and provides a foundation for future continuation applications and emerging technologies.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
