Artificial intelligence and waveform diversity

Future US Air Force sensor systems must be able to adapt to changing environments in real time. A capabilities-based modeling approach offers a new method for building the next generation weapon system. To accommodate this model based approach, the Department of Defense (DoD) is promoting the use of waveform diversity for active radar systems. Building a weapon system including one or more systems with waveform diversity will require the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and techniques. We provide a model of how an aircraft sensor system can be retrofitted to accommodate radars employing waveform diversity without causing fratricide.
