ANDRO COMPUTATIONAL SOLUTIONS LLC — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: The focus of this research will be on developing an automated simulation tool called E3Exp

Description

The focus of this research will be on developing an automated simulation tool called E3Expert-Plus that will predict and mitigate intrasystem (cosite) interference while integrating with existing databases of radio frequency (RF) component and equipment characteristics. As part of this effort we will develop detailed requirements for interfacing with the DoD Joint Spectrum Center"s JSC Equipment, Tactical and Space (JETS) database, including the filtering and extraction of the necessary RF subsystem data using keyword search, data mining and filtering schemes. We will demonstrate the validity of the approach and the compatibility of a suitable simulation tool with the JETS database for extracting relevant data to create accurate simulation models for cosite analysis. This includes extracting relevant information on communications systems, electro-optical/infrared sensors, Global Positioning Systems, inertial navigation systems, processors and other types of electronics equipment. We will also develop a Phase II implementation plan that includes database integration as well as any additional subsystem and component models that will be developed as part of the work. In particular, we propose to develop a conceptual framework consisting of an analytical approach and process definition that meets the technical objective of this R & D. Cosite tool demonstrations will focus on interior cavity coupling problems using JETS data (or equivalent) as well as selected exterior RF problems.
