Pinpoint Phase 1
Abstract
The purpose of the Pin Point program is to integrate adaptive beam forming techniques for co-channel interference cancellation, with Time Difference of Arrival - Differential Doppler (TDOA-DD) processing for rapid and precise Geolocation of tactical emitters in a dense co-channel signal and interference environment. The PinPoint program is intended to complement the existing CHAALS system by providing advanced techniques that address the Army's longer-term Objective System requirements. The end goal of the PinPoint multi-phase program is to integrate Pin Point precision geolocation capability with a co-channel signal intercept system employing multiple multi-antenna airborne collection platforms, such as ACS, to provide a complete, precise and real-time geographical image of the modem battlefield signals environment. The co-channel interference look-through capability provided by Pin Point and related co-channel detect, DF, and beamforming copy front-end assets will enable the battlefield environment to be accurately monitored deep behind the forward troops from airborne platforms positioned at safe standoff distances.
