Projects

New waveforms enable efficient spectrum sharing between radars sensing moving objects and wireless communications systems transmitting data.

We developed an open system architecture that reduces the complexity and cost of operations at the Reagan Test Site.

New software tools provide test operators with automated decision support for directing sensors during increasingly complex tests conducted at the Reagan Test Site.

We contributed to a transformational program to fundamentally change the mission execution and operations at the Reagan Test Site.

Upgrades to the Reagan Test Site’s optical systems combine state-of-the-art focal plane technologies with a wide-area, network-centric, open-system design to allow distributed system command and control while achieving unprecedented metric accuracy.

We conducted a software-defined radio technology development program to improve the way telemetered information is collected and processed.

New machine learning methods capture statistical features within sonar data to distinguish between sound sources.

New navigation and vehicle autonomy algorithms consider which tasks humans and autonomous systems respectively do best, with the goal of improving search path planning and object classification in underwater environments.

With the goal of enabling navigation in environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable, researchers are developing algorithms to fuse information across a network of small, low-power radio-frequency devices.

Undersea vision-based navigation and pose determination will enable divers and robots to collaboratively solve complex tasks in an inherently unstructured environment.
