GENETIC METHOD TO ANALYZE BACS AND CONSTRUCT CONTIG MAPS

Not Available The ALR-67 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) provides valuable data to its host aircraft and related onboard countermeasures systems. However, the data directly collected and analyzed by an ALR-67 in an action area could be further exploited by sharing it with an off-board SIGINT platform that could fuse it with data from other ALR-67s to provide enhanced Situational Awareness (SA) for the entire strike group. Specifically, data could be used to geolocate threat emitters if the data could be time tagged, [Time Of Arrival (TOA)] and provided along with aircraft GPS data to a central node for correlation with data from other ALR-67s intercepting the same emitter data. AVISYS, Incorporated proposes to develop a concept for modifying the ALR-67 RWR to provide its onboard processed data to a SIGINT fusion platform. The data could be transmitted through a high bandwidth distributed network such as the Navy's Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) The fusion platform could then perform the geolocation analysis using Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)methods. The fusion platform could typically be an EP-3E or ES-3A operating in the vicinity of the action area, but beyond the lethal range of enemy weapons.
