Impulse Radio

This is a new spread-spectrum, encrypted radio system for tactical battlefield use. Really amazing stuff, like ultra-low signal levels and information bursts 100 picoseconds (1 picosecond = one trillionth of a second) apart!

Air Force Taps Secure Ultrawideband
By R. Colin Johnson Courtesy of EE Times

PORTLAND, Ore. - Sandia National Laboratories has combined ultrawideband
(UWB) radio signals with advanced encryption techniques to develop a secure
sensor and communications network for the U.S. military.
The ultrasecure UWB communication system promises to help the government
protect its troops on the battlefield by detecting the position of enemies
and by making it much harder for them eavesdrop or jam military
communications.

UWB has been all the rage for about the last 5 years.
