Abstract

To address PEO Ground Systems requirements for a low-cost system that can determine and display convoy vehicle spacing in low visibility conditions, TechFlow will adapt the capabilities of its innovative millimeter-wave coherent chaotic radar technology, currently being developed under an AMRDEC-sponsored STTR Phase-II program. TechFlows chaos radar technology offers several benefits over conventional pulsed doppler or frequency modulated continuous wave radar systems (which are commonly used for automotive collision mitigation), such as interference rejection and the ability for multiple chaos radar systems to operate within the same frequency band using different chaotic spreading codes, low probability of intercept/detection, multipath rejection, and increased range resolution due to the ultra broadband nature of the chaotic baseband signal. Such system attributes are critical to the successful implementation of a technology solution that can address PEO Ground Systems requirements. TechFlows fundamental research under the AMDREC-sponsored STTR program constitutes an Army-sponsored investment of nearly $850,000 which can be leveraged by PEO Ground Systems towards an accelerated A13-027 Phase-I SBIR program that will yield a risk-mitigated vehicle collision deterrence radar system prototype mature enough to be mounted on a test vehicle at the end of Phase-I.
