Energy Efficient Signal Classifier for Dense Signal Environment

Under the auspices of this SBIR program, Specom, Inc. intends to employ advanced Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology to develop deployable RF Emitter Detection and Classification capabilities that will enable USN and DoD SIGINT and communication systems to rapidly (and potentially in real-time) detect, recognize, identify and classify"next generation"agile, Low Probability of Intercept (LPI), Signals of Interest (SOI) within the dense RF environment anticipated in the electronic battlefield of the future. Where appropriate, the developed RF Emitter Detection and Classification capability will support the real-time dissemination of signal classification information to related wideband communications systems which will enable them to mitigate interference and intrusion issues that result from the SOI in real-time through the use of adaptive Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Cognitive Radio (CR) techniques.
