Compact Data Representation for Complex Electronic Warfare Scenarios

In this effort, Vadum proposes to expand, formalize, and develop software to implement the concepts previously developed in its Electronic Warfare Knowledge Store (EWKS). EWKS is a concept/prototype level construct designed to facilitate data storage and reuse, particularly inter-mission, for airborne cognitive electronic warfare systems, which was developed during a Phase I effort under Air Force Research Lab. This Phase II effort will advance those Phase I outcomes to address open questions for handling data from heterogeneous systems and will broaden the scope of EWKS application from signal representations for emitter recognition to an engagement-level representation that can act as an information reference for cognitive electronic warfare (EW) response selection, configuration, and resource management.
