A system and method for signal transmission and reception by narrow band chaotic bi-phase shift keying includes a forward error correction encoder for receiving input data, a data packetizer in signal communication with the forward error correction encoder, a compression encoder in signal communication with the data packetizer, a radio frequency link in signal communication with the compression encoder, a compression decoder in signal communication with the radio frequency link, a data depacketizer in signal communication with the compression decoder, and a forward error correction decoder in signal communication with the data depacketizer for recovering the input data by controlling the orbits of chaos; where the method includes the steps of transmitting a signal indicative of chaotic bi-phase shift keyed data, propagating the transmitted signal within a narrow frequency band, and receiving the propagated signal substantially without degradation of the indicated data by controlling the orbits of chaos.
