Radar Survivability through Dis Sensing Adv Tech

Abstract

This Project matures, and demonstrates critical radar capability enhancements to defeat advanced Air and Missile threats and protect Army maneuver forces and critical assets. Radar enhancements are required for advanced Electronic Protection (EP) techniques against advanced jammers, electronic Combat Identification (CID), and resource optimization across the threat spectrum while retaining 360 degree coverage capability. Technology maturation in the project includes providing capabilities for: dispersed multi-static operation, classifying/tracking emerging threats and high volume threats; adaptive digital beam forming to enable resource efficiency, performance in a dynamic clutter environment and enhanced survivability in a contested battlespace; and multi-modal tracking and additional discrimination models to support diverse and emerging threats, such as swarms and guided munitions. Multiple soldier touchpoints and demonstrations of developed technology to autonomously synchronize multiple radars across a distributed battlefield in the presence of countermeasures and the denial of Global Positioning System (GPS) will be performed in lab and field environments. This research is coordinated with Army Program Element (PE) 0602141A (Lethality Technology) / Project CG4 (Advanced Radar Concepts and Technologies); PE 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology) / Project CC3 (FVL Radar Technologies); PE 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology) / Project AD5 (Next Generation Fires Radar Technology); and PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences) / Project AA8 (Sensing and Electromagnetics). This Research complements Program Element (PE) 0602141A (Lethality Technology) / Project CJ7 (Future Air Defense Missile Enabling Tech) and PE 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology) / Project DA9 (Radar Survivability through Dis Sensing Tech). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
