Archie
Abstract
The Archie program seeks to develop techniques to characterize the electromagnetic spectrum to enhance radio frequency (RF) situational awareness, maneuverability, and countermeasures in Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments. Based on technologies developed in the Resilient Networked Distributed Mosaic Communications (RNDMC) program (budgeted in PE 0603760E, Project CCC-02), Archie will leverage distributed communication advancements to enhance distributed electromagnetic warfare (EW) capabilities making them more robust and effective. Current radar and EW systems face the challenge of operating in a more congested and contested RF environment. At present, traditional EW systems do not have the capability to characterize this environment leading to performance degradation. Archie will overcome this by characterizing the electromagnetic spectrum and determining the optimal means by which to deploy radar and EW capabilities. Archie will provide novel and new ways for massive characterization, measuring RF signals of opportunity to aid in the placement and transmission of radar and EW signals. Technology developed under this program will transition to the Services.
