- Description
- Reference original CBD Publication dated 21 April, 1998. Under BAA 98-08-IFKPA, we are actively searching for efforts that address the multi-mission airborne platform known as Sensorcraft, that will host a variety of sensors, both passive and active. These include equipment for electronic support measures (ESM) and electronic attack (EA), as well as radars for airborne and ground moving target indication (AMTI and GMTI), stripmap and spotlight synthetic array radar (SAR) imaging, and foliage penetration (FOPEN). Because these co-located UHF and X-band equipment will operate simultaneously, there is the potential for severe self-interference due to the overlapping signal spectra and intermodulation products. In addition, Sensorcraft will be exposed to both unintentional and intentional electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources. The objective of this effort is to identify ways for mitigating the Sensorcraft intrasystem and externally generated EMI through various techniques. These techniques include the appropriate location and design of antennas, application of interference rejection filters, and signal cancellation techniques, power level adjustments, time sharing of signals, and the suitable choice of waveform parameters. The use of existing computer modeling and simulation tools for prediction of RF radiated coupling and for assessment of the EMI level at each equipment before and after implementation of the proposed EMI solutions is encouraged. The deadline for the submission of the white paper is four weeks after the posting of this amendment. The white paper is to be no more than three pages in length. The POC for this interest is Bob Purpura, AFRL/SNRD, 315-330-7685. All other information remains unchanged.
