Cognitive Electronic Warfare Development for U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

At the core of stakes, we have: the Adaptive Radar Countermeasures (ARC) project. The ability to enable airborne electronic warfare (EW) systems to counter new, unknown, and adaptive radars in real time.

 

In effect, based on the reality that, Current EW systems are limited in their ability to quickly adapt to new and advanced threats because they rely on a database of known threats with predefined countermeasures, I can observe that, EW systems will need to isolate unknown hostile radar signals in dense electromagnetic environments, and then rapidly generate effective electronic countermeasures. 

In fact, the cognitive EW technologies developed for the Adaptive Radar Countermeasures (ARC)  program employ advanced signal processing, intelligent algorithms, and machine learning techniques. 

For Phase 3 of the ARC program, BAESystems will perform work that includes the planned completion of algorithm development, advanced readiness testing, and key milestones for transitioning the ARC technologies to critical airborne warfare platforms, such as fifth-generation fighter jets.
