U.S. Forces face unique spectrum access issues in each country in which they operate, due to competing civilian or government users of national spectrum. Coalition and allied operations are even more complex to manage, and severely limit the U.S. ability to fully exploit its superiority and investment in information technology. The problems addressed by our SBIR work in cognitive, dynamic spectrum access (DSA) radio are to: develop, test, and demonstrate a software application capable of running in real-time on a JTRS radio; monitor and characterize the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum that is in use in a local area; identify available spectrum for reliable communications; and dynamically allocate spectrum usage to networking and legacy waveforms based upon a pre-programmed rule-set. We solve spectrum issues in seconds vs. hours or never for the warfighter. We enable the warfighter to focus on the mission and not configuring his radio.
