Research abstract
Not Available The ability to quickly and accurately determine effective deployment locations for radio frequency sensors or jammers is an essential element in today's highly mobile and fast-paced battlefield. Further, tools that help visualize radio coverage characteristics over a given geographic area would enable the battlefield commander to evaluate placement trade-offs without the time and expense of physically moving assets around in the field. In order for such tools to be useful, the underlying software used to model radio wave propagation must be accurate and fast. We propose to develop propagation algorithms that will provide the same accuracy as models currently used by several Army systems, but that will run fast enough to support near-real-time applications. Our proposed approach is two-fold. First, we will analyze the computational complexity of existing Army models in order to identify and improve performance problem areas. Second, we will conduct performance versus accuracy trade-off studies on a variety of other pathless algorithms. This approach will allow us to address whether more efficient calculation techniques exist and if these techniques can be used in place of existing models. The end result of our research will be a software prototype of performance-enhanced RF propagation algorithms. BENEFITS: Many industries, beyond the military, will benefit from the ability to visually analyze RF propagation in near real-time. Specific applications where the proposed
