RF Warning & Countermeasures Tech
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates advanced technologies for radio frequency electronic combat suites, including the required navigation technologies and capabilities, to enhance the survivability of aerospace vehicles and to provide crew situational awareness. The research addresses technologies for missile/threat warning, radio frequency receivers, electronic combat pre-processors, advanced sorting/pre-processing algorithms, and expert software for applications on existing and future electronic combat systems. The research also focuses on the development and demonstration of subsystems and components for generating on-board/off-board radio frequency countermeasure techniques. This includes the development of electronic countermeasures techniques, as well as advanced electronic countermeasures technologies such as antennas, power amplifiers, and preamplifiers. In FY 2021, Project 63431G, RF Warning & Countermeasures Tech, is transferred from PE 0603270F, Electronic Combat Technology, to PE 0603035F, Next Gen Effects Dev/Demos, Project 63431G, RF Warning & Countermeasures Tech with the exception of the work and funding that is associated with the Navigation Technology Satellite-3 Vanguard demonstration which will be realigned to PE 0603032F, Future Air Force Integrated Tech Demos, Project 630320, Air Force Vanguards. These transfers are part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE Consolidation in order to realign technology areas that better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Operating Concept and AF Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and non-Vanguard associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Technology Directorate located in Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
