Multi-Int Signal Processing R&D

Integrating mission insights, A.I., and an innovative mix of datasets to visualize more tactical options

We create signal processing and machine learning algorithms that leverage masses of often underused sensor data to give warfighters and analysts new insights, options, and opportunities for mission success.

We use algorithms and signal processing with massive sensor data to give the U.S. military new mission insights and opportunities.

Overview
News

In harsh theaters of battle and other challenging environments, electronic sensors that decision-makers depend on for signals intelligence can fail, be blocked, or may not be present. That can leave forces unable to detect threats, protect assets, or see and evaluate opportunities to advance the mission. But our FAST Labs™ Multi-Int Signal Processing R&D team overcomes those obstacles in nearly every environment for use across all platforms.

These professionals create algorithms for signal processing and machine learning that produce adaptive, intelligent processing using massive volumes of geospatial signals intelligence from multiple domains to detect, track, map, and predict behaviors in various contexts. This gives decision-makers better situational awareness, positioning, communications, counter-measures, targeting, and other response options – on land, at sea, under water, in the air, and in space.

Focus areas of Multi-Int Signal Processing R&D

Signal detection, estimation, and parameter measurement

This area of focus involves creating algorithms to find, measure, and exploit geospatial signals intelligence from a full complement of sensory sources – acoustic, radar, communications, navigation, and optical. These algorithms are also capable of identifying the origins of those signals, to enable their potential use, pursuit, containment, or elimination.

Adaptive and cognitive signal processing

The Multi-Int Signal Processing R&D team equips communications systems, electronic warfare systems, and other adaptive decision logic and action capabilities in unknown, dynamic, and challenging threat environments. Our R&D capabilities in this area include:

Spectrum mapping and threat behavior characterization for radar and communications
Operation against agile and unknown threats
Real-time response optimization for electronic support, electronic attack, and electronic protection
Operation in cluttered and contested environments
Advanced electronic warfare (EW) techniques
