There are many approaches to improving IW systems' ability to provide Indications and Warning (I&W) for the Information Warfare (IW) Picture. Traditional approaches have relied on rule based systems to infer the RF environment. But in the modern IWbattlespace the rules may change too quickly to… More

"Argon Engineering proposes a synchronized mobile platform Line of Position (LOP) signal intercept and geolocation system using digital narrowband scanning of coordinated wideband receivers. This approach provides precision time and frequency locking ofindependent mobile units under a designated… More

"Argon Engineering proposes to design a family of low probability of intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) data links capable of conveying analog (voice) and data (video and sensor data) in line-of-site (LOS) and over the horizon (OTH) modes for Special OperatingForces (SOF) tactical users using Joint… More

"Argon Engineering Associates proposes to create a prototype threat warning visualization that integrates key features of signal threat characteristics into a battlefield and Geographic Information System intensive environment. This is accomplished duringan iterative approach during Phase I with… More

Argon Engineering Associates presents an innovative approach to Direction Finding (DF), replacing analog Butler Matrix beamforming with an all-digital adaptive beam former. Argon proposes to implement FFT channelization before beamforming using FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). This allows… More

Argon Engineering Associates proposes to create Early Correlation processing in Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment by using Extensible Markup Language (XML) search of sensor Signal of Interest (SOI) intercept database using Electronic Warfare (EW/ELINT)report parameters. Correlated information… More

Protecting the U.S. coastline with commercial and naval ports is important. Providing indications and warning to U.S. Navy ships in foreign harbors is an equally daunting task. Argon Engineering Associates proposes to develop a small, low-cost HF, VHF,and UHF sensor to search and monitor maritime… More

During Phase I of the Anti-Terrorism SBIR Argon Engineering Associates investigated Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architectures for integrating a common and versatile VHF Sensor at both land sites and aboard Class II Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for both direction finding (DF) and signal… More

It is temping to leverage the tremendous power and rapid evolution of commercial wireless communications, although the vulnerability of this technology to intrusion, spoofing, and jamming remains a frustrating obstacle to their use in sensitive environments. Argon Engineering proposes to… More

Argon Engineering Associates and Advanced Radio Corporation (ARC) propose a Ku-Band data relay architecture that supports network-centric operations from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The architecture is comprised of multiple directional, asymmetric links that use efficient Ku-Band up/down… More

Under the Ships Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) program, and similar programs for its subsurface and airborne platforms, the US Navy is fielding a family of communications electronic support (ES) sensors based on new architectural principals. These sensors are built from fully commercial… More

The objective of this proposal is to develop the architecture for a new communications terminal that will allow future phases to improve on both voice quality and encryption technology from the terminals currently in use such as the Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal (ANDVT). This new… More
