A spectrum sharing system includes an advanced beacon (e.g. a low latency RF link) as part of an information sharing subsystem. The advanced beacon signal carries radar spectrum transmission schedule in an obfuscated way such as not to reveal the geolocation of the radar. The information sharing subsystem directs nodes, such as cell phones, to share spectrum based on spectrum sharing instructions contained in the advanced beacon. The spectrum sharing system permits out-of-band sharing of spectrum white space, as well as sharing of in-band spectrum gray space.

A system and a method of multi path communication to improve communication between an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) and ground control during a mission is disclosed.

The fog network gateway further includes connectivity logic configured to provide connection between a remote device and at least one local device via at least one of the wireless, cellular, and wireline communication interfaces, fog networking logic configured to form a fog network with the at least one local device for transmitting data thereto, and bandwidth aggregation logic configured to aggregate available bandwidth from at least two of the wireless, cellular, and wireline communication interfaces to ensure adequate bandwidth for data transmission between the remote device and the at least one local device. The fog network gateway further includes artificial intelligence logic configured to analyze data received from the at least one local device via the wireless, cellular, and wireline communication interfaces, and take appropriate action in response to the analysis.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to validate data communicated by a vehicle. An example apparatus an anomaly detector to, in response to data communicated by a vehicle, at least one of compare an estimated speed with a reported speed or compare a location of the vehicle with a reported location. The apparatus including the anomaly detector further to generate an indication of the vehicle in response to the comparison. The apparatus further includes a notifier to discard data sent by the vehicle and notify surrounding vehicles of the data communicated by the vehicle.

A system and method for conducting electronic warfare on a target site includes the use of a small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) having a fuselage and a Prandtl wing, wherein at least two electric ducted fans are positioned on the fuselage. A power system of the SUAS has a plurality of hydrogen fuel cells positioned within the Prandtl wing. An electronic warfare payload is carried by the fuselage, wherein the electronic warfare payload and the at least two electric ducted fans are powered by at least a portion of the plurality of hydrogen fuel cells. During an operation, the SUAS may launch near an IAD site and initiate an electronic warfare effect on an integrated air defense site with electronic warfare payload carried by the SUAS to interfere with at least one surface-to-air missile (SAM) system.

A device (112, 130) is configured to communicate data (108) on a radio channel (101, 105, 106) employing first resource elements. The device (112, 130) is further configured to participate in a radar probing (109) employing second resource elements which are orthogonal to the first resource elements.

Embodiments for a method of dynamically tuning receivers of a wideband anti-jam modem (WAM) are provided. The method includes cyclically tuning one or more receivers through a plurality of channels except a first channel. The method also includes receiving an indication, while cyclically tuning, that one or more packets to an endpoint device behind a first WAM are to be sent to the first WAM on a second channel of the plurality of channels. In response to receiving the indication, the cyclical tuning for a first receiver of the plurality of receivers is halted and the first receiver is tuned to the second channel for a first period of time to receive the one or more messages. After the first period of time, cyclically tuning the first receiver along with any other receivers of the one or more receivers through the plurality of channels except the first channel.

Code-domain spread spectrum (CDSS) correlation embodiments for wireless and radar transceivers with the dual purposes of in-band jammer rejection and transmitter-to-receiver self-interference suppression. The encode/decode schemes may be employed at different locations on the TRx paths such as TRx front-end and/or in the baseband, for different TR transceiver architectures such as I/Q TRx, MIMO/phase array TRx and polar TRx. The encoder may be placed in the baseband digital unit and the decoder may be placed in front-of-the LNA in the RF domain for easy encoder implementation in the digital domain while protecting the receiver path from interferences. Group delay filters and/or tunable time delays can be employed to compensate for a signal path delay in a radar TRx. Signals coded with a correlated code sequence and synchronized with the encoder in the transmitter may be decoded and restored at the receiver while the in-band jammers and self-interference can be suppressed.
