Abstract
Over the past 6 years, the Hume Center at Virginia Tech has worked to integrate the educational objectives of the university with advanced research in support of our national defense partners. Key innovation areas at Hume include the use of software-defined platforms for a variety of mis- sions, establishment of an academic SATCOM ground station for validating research, and a re- search portfolio leveraging cleared student participation within HumeÕs secure facilities. Hume researchersÕ experience with, and contributions to, open source communities like GNU Ra- dio and Redhawk are examples of our joint mission of education and Defense research, helping support the creation of new DoD mission capabilities while simultaneously preparing students to join the national defense workforce. This DURIP proposal requests funding to expand the existing RF laboratory to support an environmental and channel simulation capability within the Hume Center. This laboratory will build on and extend the extensive expertise Virginia Tech has in the wireless and communications communities with technical expertise in wireless networking, machine learn- ing, applied signal processing, and dynamic spectrum access. The RF Channel Simulation will allow the Hume Center to better develop hardware and algorithms to support critical investigations into wireless security for military, intelligence, and commercial applications.
