Electromagnetic Tech
Abstract
This project develops technologies for sensor systems that cover the electromagnetic spectrum from radio-frequency to electro-optical. It develops radio-frequency antennas and associated electronics for airborne and space-based surveillance. It also investigates radio-frequency scattering phenomenology for applications in ground and air moving target indicators in extremely cluttered environments. The project develops active and passive electro-optical sensors for use in concert with radio-frequency sensors. It develops low-cost active sensors that use reliable high-performance solid state components for target detection and identification and missile threat warning. The project also develops passive multi-dimensional sensors to improve battlefield awareness and identify threats at long-range.
