Waveform Agile Radio Paradigm (WARP) for Frequency Opportunism in Tactical MANET

The Mayflower Waveform Agile Radio Paradigm (WARP) technology addresses frequency opportunism in a tactical MANET by developing and demonstrating a cross-layer frequency spectrum fragmentation and recovery solution for networking waveforms with distributed network control in response to spectrum availability concerns. The WARP Phase II program will further develop, design, implement, demonstrate and characterize the performance of WARP-enabled non contiguous CDMA and OFDM waveforms over a single carrier wideband waveform in terms of communication system performance, implementation complexity and bandwidth requirements. The Phase II program will also identify how the WARP technology can be incorporated as a waveform enhancement to JTRS SRW and WNW waveforms to provide the needed capability to operate in a spectrum constrained environment caused by policy or RF interference. A successful WARP Phase II demonstration using a representative SDR radio will facilitate the WARP technology transition to JTRS NED in Phase III.
