Enhanced De-Interleavers for Submarine Electronic Warfare Support (ES) Systems Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Topic No.: N122-133 Topic Title: Enhanced De-Interleavers for Submarine Electronic Warfare Support (ES) Systems Proposal No.: N122-133-0807 Firm: Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. 52 Geiger Road, Suite 2 Rome, New York 13441-4319 Contact: Stanley Driggs Phone: (607) 201-6312 Web Site: www.heliossensors.com Abstract: The objective of the proposed program is to develop innovative algorithms and techniques to automatically detect, classify, and uniquely identify emitters exhibiting multi-dimensional agilities, extremely wide band RF distribution, high time-bandwidth coherent characteristics, and solid state power amplifier technologies. The proliferation of agile emitter types has surpassed the ability of current EW systems to de-interleave and identify emitters in a dense and complex signal environment. Improved automated signal analysis and emitter classification is required to maintain an accurate real-time view of the environment, thus allowing the Electronic Warfare Support operator to perform his primary missions of maintaining ship safety and providing complete situational awareness to decision makers. Our goal is to develop an open architecture solution that can support multiple sensors and is easily extensible to address the evolution of future radars. Benefits: The technology from this Phase I effort will become instrumental in the development a wide variety of current and future ESM systems. Once developed the system will be transitioned directly to the Navy. Commercial applications include the US Coast Guard and Homeland Defense. Advanced signal processing techniques are needed in the commercial communications fields, as well. Advanced de-interleaving techniques can be used by communication companies to allow for more users to occupy the same frequency spectrum via more complex spreading techniques. Return
