APPLICATIONS

APPLIED RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING, INC. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A COMMUNICATION SUBSYSTEM FOR MULTISTATIC RADAR MISSION APPLICATIONS. THE APPROACH EMPLOYS BIT-SLICE MICROPROCESSOR TECHNIQUES TO INTEGRATE THE MULTISTATIC RADAR SIGNAL AND COMMUNICATION SUBSYSTEM DATA PROCESSING FUNCTIONS TO PROVIDELOW DATA RATES FOR SENSOR WAVEFORM INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION.THE PHASE I EFFORT WILL DEFINE AND DEVELOP THIS CONCEPT AND PERFORM COMPUTER SIMULATIONS AND NUMERICAL ANALYSES TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED BIT-SLICE MICROPROCESSOR COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES. SPECIFIC MULTI STATIC RADAR SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS WILL BE COORDINATED WITH THE ESD PROGRAM OFFICE. THISE WILL SUPPORT THE EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED COMMUNICATION SUBSYSTEM CONCEPT WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC RADAR SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, CHARACTERISTICS, AND SYSTEM PARAMETERS, AND PROVIDE A BASIC FOR PROCEEDING WITH A SUBSEQUENT PHASE II PROGRAM.
