Domain Optimized Tactical Line of Sight Communications

GIRD Systems proposes to prototype and demonstrate the Wireless Intelligent Service for Automatic Radio Domain optimization (WISARD). WISARD is a machine learning (ML) software solution for communication system domain optimization that improves performance across operational domains while reducing the degree of required radio operator intervention and expertise. WISARDÆs understanding of the mission, operating domain, and current conditions (from metrics and I/Q samples) influences the automated control, selection, and reconfiguration of the platform and waveform. Extensible across waveforms and platforms, WISARD is initially targeted in this effort to theĀMIDS JTRS platform. The proposed project improves the performance and ease of use of Line-of-Sight (LOS) L-band communication systems employed by the Army, Navy, and other services, by optimally aligning system parameters and configuration with operational domains. The simplest, initial implementation considers a pre-set ōdialed-inö set of domains that a non-technical user can select a priori to guide the optimization of communication links based on a mission profile. This preset dial configures a control system that leverages ML to manage the operation of the underlying waveforms, services, and 3rd party techniques available on the system. This is extended to consider simultaneous combinations of domains, finer grained domain definitions, and automatic domain recognition. This capability will be packaged as a software system.
