Description

Welkin Sciences is proposing areal-time, fully adaptive mitigation approach to counter the effects of received interference and jamming on airborne communication links. The proposed approach, entitled ICeAIR (Independent of Component Analysis for Interference Removal), includes an adaptive method for separating the desired communication signal form sources of jamming and interference with no prior description of the jamming/interference sources.In addition, the proposed method includes detection and classification methods to aid in identifying and characterizing the threat signal source.
