Charles W. Bostian, Alexander R. Young · 2011
Abstract : This effort investigated the application of cognitive radio techniques to coordinated Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions. The goal was to explore the potential for the Air Force (a) to replace a UAV's multiple radio platforms with one or more waveform and frequency agile multichannel software defined radios that use cognitive techniques to optimize radio links under changing channel conditions and evolving mission requirements and (b) to employ cooperative communications technique to enhance the performance of UAV networks.
