Agile Multi-Function Arrays

Abstract

The charge for this study was to evaluate the feasibility of achieving the goals of the Integrated Topsides program, to identify potential roadblocks in the program and long-term opportunities. We were asked to do this in the context of Navy needs and in the context of contractor proposals for development programs. In the course of our evaluation, we found that many concerns about the multi-function concept, as well as many aspects of proposals to address it were narrowly focused to design concepts intrinsic to traditional approaches. At the same time we were greatly heartened to see the dynamism of research and development in relevant RF technologies, and increasing interest and willingness to adapt commercial developments to military needs.
