Six people work on radars at a naval air station.
radar
A strategy for lessening wind turbines’ effects on the performance of an aircraft measurement system at a naval air station on the Chesapeake Bay could inform future research into interference mitigation for other radar applications.
An illustration of two self-driving cars detecting nearby objects and sharing sensor data using the same radio-frequency band.
RF technology
New waveforms enable efficient spectrum sharing between radars sensing moving objects and wireless communications systems transmitting data.

CLIMATE MODELING / IMPACT PREDICTION / CLIMATE OBSERVATION
With Alabama A&M University, we are identifying opportunities to apply new remote sensing concepts to improve groundwater measurements and models.  These models can inform decisions related to agriculture, land use, human health and wellness, and geopolitical stability.
