So interesting! How do you send "error-resistant digitally modulated transmissions"? Is that the same thing as a duplex signal? Is there other technology used nowadays?
Could be coding (Turbo coding is where it's at, while hamming (no relation) error correcting codes are purely digital and ubiquitous), could be simple double transmissions separated in the time domain as in FEC SITOR/AMTOR. My money's on Turbo coding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_code
