Adaptive Radio Frequency Technology (ART)
Abstract
The Adaptive Radio Frequency Technology (ART) program developed a technology base to enable real-time-adaptable radios for individual warfighters and small unmanned systems. ART technologies provided capabilities for next-generation communications, sensing, and electronic warfare, including reconfigurable radios and efficient and compact signal identification capabilities. Goals of the ART program included (1) developing a technology base enabling future radios to survey and adapt to the electromagnetic environment; (2) enabling the rapid deployment of radios in response to changing operational requirements; and (3) significantly reducing the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of such radios. ART enabled the use of a single design pathway for multiple, unique radio frequency (RF) systems, thus dramatically reducing military procurement and sustainment costs. ART also advanced the hardware and software used in radio frequency (RF) systems by developing a flexible, reconfigurable architecture that can adapt to various RF waveforms.
