The latest advanced RF sensing technologies will be developed by applying DRS to contested and congested spectrum environments.

“The project will focus on providing enhancements and upgrades in technology areas such as advanced waveform design, adaptive signal processing, sensing, and over-the-horizon radar.”

Altamira Technologies president Jonathan Moneymaker said: “Our on-going work with AFRL and recognised success with DSAM technologies solidifies Altamira’s position as a leader in delivering advanced RF sensing solutions.

“With this award, Altamira strengthens our partnership with one of our key customers as we continue to perform the cutting-edge R&D needed to operate in future spectrum environments.”

Work on the DRS project is built on Altamira Technologies’s internal and customer-funded RF R&D experience.
