ADAPTIVE METHODS, INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase II: AN/SQQ-89 surface combatant mid-frequency active (MFA) processing will benefit significant

Description

AN/SQQ-89 surface combatant mid-frequency active (MFA) processing will benefit significantly through an open-architecture approach (OA) to system implementation, allowing proposed and future advanced technologies to be introduced through a built-test-build and Advanced Processor Build (ABP) process. This approach will facilitate the navy"s ability to rapidly integrate new technology through spiral developments, while also supporting the ability to demonstrate a quantitative return-on-investment for these technologies. An OA approach for the construction of a signal-processing, information-processing, and display system is proposed. Requirements and a concept of operation for AN/SQQ-89 active processing are proposed for development. Examples of high payoff improvements for signal processing and display processing are discussed, and proposed for further development, implementation, performance evaluation, and demonstration.
