Method and system for controlling radiation scattering
A method for controlling radiation scattering, comprises: directing radiation to a metamaterial having an array of individually tunable and near field coupled resonators, varying an individual resonance frequency of at least one of the resonators to provide a collective resonance scattering of the radiation by the metamaterial, measuring a scattering signal of the collective resonance scattering of the radiation, and identifying the metamaterial based on the scattering signal.
Fano-Based Information Theoretic Method (FBIT) for Design and Optimization of Nonlinear Systems
Methods are provided for identifying and quantifying information loss in a system due to uncertainty and analyzing the impact on the reliability of system performance. Models and methods join Fano's equality with the Data Processing Inequality in a Markovian channel construct in order to characterize information flow within a multi-component nonlinear system and allow the determination of risk and characterization of system performance upper bounds based on the information loss attributed to each component. The present disclosure additionally includes methods for estimating the sampling requirements and for relating sampling uncertainty to sensing uncertainty. The present disclosure further includes methods for determining the optimal design of components of a nonlinear system in order to minimize information loss, while maximizing information flow and mutual information.

RADAR CLOAKING APPARATUS AND METHODS OF USE
A radar cloaking apparatus configured for positioning on a radar target and corresponding methods are provided. The radar cloaking apparatus comprises a radio signal emitter and computational circuitry. The computational circuitry is configured to cause the radar cloaking apparatus to at least reference a model encoding scattering properties of the radar target; determine a predicted reflection signature of the radar target from a selected interrogation angle based at least in part on the model encoding the scattering properties of the radar target; and cause transmission, by the radio signal emitter, of a cloaking radio signal along the selected interrogation angle. The cloaking radio signal is actively generated based on the predicted reflection signature of the radar target shifted in phase such that the cloaking radio signal is configured to destructively interfere with a reflected signal formed by an interrogating radar signal scattering off of the radar target.

Electronic warfare asset management system
An electronic warfare asset management system allows for pre-mission planning and ranking of emitter targets within a theater of operations while further allowing real-time adjustments to the emitter rankings. The asset management system may further evaluate and optimize asset architecture to allow multiple assets to work in parallel to increase the probability of intercept for any specific target emitter.
