Cognitive Radio Architectures for Cyberspace Operations

Geon Technologies proposes an open and extensible SDR architecture that can function autonomously either as a single radio or network of distributed radios to provide the expeditionary warfighter with a multi-function capability A system capable of EMS cyberspace operations must continually sense, detect, analyze and classify all signals in the target spectrum to gain a complete profile of what signals are present along with their purpose, origin and intent (e.g., red force, blue force, white force/NGO, civilian, coalition, etc). The scope of such a system expands the focus of a traditional cognitive radio to provide wide area RF situational awareness, generate a RF cyberspace common operating picture, enable RF cyber fires, perform real-time cyber battle damage assessment, observe effectiveness of Blue Force communications in Red Force jamming, support white force tracking, and many more.
