Adaptive Radio Frequency Technology (ART)
Abstract
There is a critical ongoing military need for flexible, affordable, hand-held cognitive military communications systems. The Adaptive Radio Frequency Technology (ART) program will provide the warfighter with a new, fully adaptive radio platform capable of sensing the electromagnetic and waveform environment in which it operates, making decisions on how to best communicate in that environment, and rapidly adapting its hardware to meet ever-changing requirements, while simultaneously significantly reducing the size, weight and power (SWAP) of such radio nodes. ART will also equip each warfighter, as well as small-scale unmanned platforms, with a compact and efficient signal identification capabilities for next-generation cognitive communications, sensing and electronic warfare applications. ART technology will also enable rapid radio platform deployment for new waveforms and changing operational requirements. ART aggregates the Feedback Linearized Microwave Amplifiers program, the Analog Spectral Processing program, and Chip Scale Spectrum Analyzers (CSSA) program, and initiates new thrusts in Cognitive Low-energy Signal Analysis and Sensing Integrated Circuits (CLASIC) and RF Field-Programmable Arrays (RF-FPGA).
