Assessment of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology

Abstract

The Panel concentrated on radar but invited the presentation of ideas on communications. No ideas or proposals for UWB communications systems or techniques were presented, nor were any advantages for such systems apparent to the Panel. Examination of electronic warfare and RF weaponization applications was very limited. The restrictions imposed by the combination of security classification and the proprietary nature of many of the EW and weaponization concepts under development by the presenters made it difficult for the Panel to conduct an in depth review of these areas. Further, the DoD has established a separate in-house committee to review a broader area that includes UWB applications to electronic warfare and weaponization. Thus, the Panel's efforts were almost entirely devoted to UWB radar issues.
