Broadband Jam/Interference Immune MANET

The goal of this SBIR effort is to allow Special Operations Forces to communicate using tactical MANET radios in the presence of adversary jamming capabilities while transmitting large data files and potentially streaming data such as video and other sensor data.Our approach is based on spatial filtering using multi-antenna capable radios. The technique has perviously been shown effective under static conditions with reaction times of several hundred milliseconds. As part of this work we will reduce the reaction time to tens of microseconds. The result of the work is of dual use as the same technology can help commercial systems maintain their throughput in the presence of interference other systems that occupy the same band.
