Distributed and Layered Sensing
Michael C. Wicks, William J. M. Moore · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 2011
In this chapter, we discuss the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues that must be addressed and understood as part of the development of a futuristic intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance concept utilizing Distributed and Layered Sensing waveform diverse systems. These systems involve the innovative integration of cutting edge technologies such as: knowledge-based signal processing, robotics, wireless networking, waveform diversity, the semantic web, advanced computer architectures, and supporting software languages. This concept is projected as an autonomous constellation of air, space, and ground vehicles that would offer a robust paradigm to build toward future deployments. The goal is to develop waveform-time-space adaptive processing algorithms for distributed apertures that could reduce EMC issues.
