Abstract: A method of digital signal processing includes modeling a digitally-modulated radio frequency (RF) communication stream using a set of incoming samples of the stream collected from a single antenna. The stream includes a first signal, the first signal including a sequence of first digital symbols having a previous symbol and a current symbol. Each first digital symbol is chosen from a plurality of first possible values. The first signal is modulated by a first known RF communication protocol having unknown time-varying parameters, the parameters having estimated previous values from modeling the previous symbol using a previous interval of the samples corresponding to the previous symbol. The method further includes collecting a current interval of the samples, predicting current values of the parameters, deciding a value of the current symbol using maximum likelihood estimation, and estimating the current values of the parameters using maximum likelihood estimation.

Abstract: One or more defined countermeasures are selected from a countermeasure library, populated with parameters, and applied against an unknown, ambiguous, or unresponsive imminent radar threat based on an analysis of a hostile RF waveform emitted by the radar threat. The analysis can include comparing static and/or dynamic features of the hostile RF waveform with features of known hostile RF waveforms. A parameter set associated with the selected defined countermeasure in the countermeasure library can be selected. Waveform features can be categorized and sub-categorized for comparison with the known hostile waveforms. A plurality of features can be detected and compared. The analysis can include correlating behavior patterns of a plurality of hostile RF waveforms emitted by the radar threat. A cognitive intelligence trained using a threat database and library of corresponding countermeasures can analyze the hostile RF waveform, select the defined countermeasure, and/or select or generate the parameters.

Abstract: A method of assessing the effectiveness of an electronic countermeasure (ECM) applied against an unknown, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes monitoring changes in a radar-associated factor while applying the ECM and determining if the ECM is disrupting the hostile radar. The radar-associated factor can be a weapon that is controlled by the radar threat, and assessing the ECM can include determining whether the weapon is misdirected due to applying the ECM. Or the radar-associated factor can be a feature of an RF waveform emitted by the radar threat, and assessing the ECM can include determining if the feature is changed due to applying the ECM. Continuous changes in the feature can indicate unsuccessful attempts to mitigate the ECM. Return of the feature to a pre-threat state can indicate disruption of the radar. The ECM can be selected from a library of countermeasures pre-verified as effective against known threats.

Abstract: A system and method for platform independent LOS visual information transmission is disclosed. A transmitter consists of a series of sequential images that are stacked together to form frames in a video transmission. Each image is modulated spatially, by color, and by intensity. The data is transmitted over an LOS visual channel. The receiver first captures each individual image from the received video, and then demodulates each image in the three areas it was modulated spatially, by color, and by intensity. LOS visual information transmission allows for secure data transfer and reduces interference from other applications.

Abstract: A method of selecting and optimizing a countermeasure for application against a novel, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes selecting a candidate countermeasure and an initial parameter set and varying at least one of the parameters while the effectiveness of the candidate countermeasure against the radar threat is assessed, for example by a human observer. Embodiments include repeating the process with additional candidate countermeasures. For an unresponsive radar threat, a previously effective countermeasure can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. For an ambiguous radar threat, at least one countermeasure previously verified as effective against a partially matching known threat can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. Correlated parameters can be simultaneously varied. An optimization surface and trajectory formed by a plurality of correlated parameters can be identified by machine intelligence, used to guide the parameter variations, and/or stored for use against the same or similar threats in the future.
