Milstar constellation

Hi,

I was wondering who discovered/engineered the modulation behind the Milstar constellation (famous for its "waterdrops" signal.) Was it an individual or a group of people, and were there any famous people on the payroll? I read something about a famous actress who worked on Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum, which is what this satellite is believed to use. Undoubtedly there has been a lot of work since then that made it into this satellite constellation.
