Adaptive Capacity Enhancing System With Interference Cancellation Leveraging Duality (ACES-WILD)

Pareto Frontier proposes to accomplish the overall objective of achieving improvements in tactical network capacity and throughput via advanced digital processing techniques geared for implementation on the MIDS JTRS platform. A substantial increase in network capacity can be realized leveraging specific spectral and spatial degrees of freedom through adaptive signal processing. To this end, Pareto Frontier proposes to enhance and extend its Omni-Spatial-Interference-Removal-Integrated-System (OSIRIS); a modular and scalable STAP engine that is able to fully exploit available degrees of freedom to provide maximum interference mitigation coverage under a wide range of environments. The augmented solution will incorporate key elements specifically addressing network capacity increase of the baseline solution rendering the novel Adaptive Capacity Enhancing System With Interference Cancellation Leveraging Duality (ACES WILD), enabling a truly multi-purpose Electronic Protection engine that can be dynamically and adaptively switched into different operational modes optimally suited for evolving mission needs.As part of the Phase 2 effort, Pareto Frontier will fully implement and refine the ACES-WILD engine. The solution will be tailored to best fit within available FPGA resources on the MIDS platform hardware. Pareto Frontier will work extensively with its industry partner to incorporate the solution within an enhanced prototype terminal and conduct extended performance characterization within a relevant environment to achieve TRL 6 on the target platform. Option efforts on the program will explore further refinements and additions to the solution that leverage specific aspects of the engine processing in conjunction with the target waveform to gain further tactical advantage.
