LPD (Low Probability of Detection) Requirement Review of Two Applications of Interest Extracted from 03/266r0
Situational Awareness for Soldiers • No Effective Means of Indoor Location • Confusion and lack of Communication and Control • Sounds are confusing and difficult to localize • Seconds count... • Localizers provide ID and location • Avoid Fratricide • Positive IFF Source: Patrick HoughtonAetherwire & Location
Security Applications • Enhancing CCTV coverage • Activity-based video stream selection • Daytime intruder detection • Correlate data from active tracking and passive (IR, weight, radar) sensors • Visitor management • Enforcing restricted zones and escort policies • Asset tracking • Automatic ‘man-down’ detection Demand now: Defense contractors, gemstone processing facilities Source: Peter BattyUbisense Limited
Both these applications one have element in common … they are covert. • A soldier or a police officer in a hostile situation does not want their location revealed … even their approximate location! • A security sensor deployment situation may not want to have the location of sensors revealed … or even that there are sensors deployed. • Some modulation formats inherently lack LPD properties when subjected to higher order spectral processing techniques … an example is BPSK used in conjunction with a squaring non-linearity.
dB TX Hz data • Angle of Arrival Estimation • + • Range Estimate based on r^2 loss • = • Estimation of Location LO RX BPSK, a noise like waveform, collapses to an AM modulated carrier when processed through a squaring non-linearity. dB Hz
Additional PHY Requirement The alternate PHY must have at least one LPD modulation mode that takes into consideration protection against higher order spectral processing techniques.
