Research abstract

To address the Armys need for innovative RF countermeasures compatible with the limited size, weight, and power (SWaP) of rotary-wing aircraft to counter advances in radar threat systems, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes a new Digital RF Expendable Active counterMeasure (DREAM), to replace traditional passive radar countermeasures. The DREAM comprises a low-SWaP, 2-18 GHz RF transceiver with commercial off-the-shelf RF components and a field-programmable gate array to form the digital RF memory (DRFM); a novel wideband conformal antenna; a lightweight power supply; and an aerodynamic enclosure. This innovative integration will enable a low-SWaP, DRFM countermeasure that fits within the size constraints of conventional passive countermeasures and weighs
