ABSTRACT:Data Fusion Corporation (DFC) proposes to extend their existing suite of Global Positioning System (GPS) structured interference ( both known & determinable) mitigation algorithms and software by developing a new algorithm and related software suitable for mitigating unstructured interference sources, such as from random noise generators. These new algorithms will compute blind estimations of the unstructured interference relevant to the detection of the desired GPS signals. In Phase-I, DFC demonstrated applicability of this technique on Current and Emerging Threats.BENEFIT:This proposed technology will benefit the 'disadvantage' warfighter, small unmanned aerial systems (UASs), law enforcement and first responders, the National Guard, the transportation industries (e.g., shipping, aviation, marine), communication networks and GPS-enabled timing systems. In particular - DFC's technology will be applicable to ensure the reliability of GPS-provided precision time dissemination for cell-phone base-stations.
