BAE Systems recently received about $8.4 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to begin work on what’s known as the Behavioral Learning for Adaptive Electronic Warfare (BLADE) system that is aimed at automatically learning to jam certain new wireless transmissions that may threaten personnel. According to DARPA: As wireless communication devices become more adaptive and responsive to their environment by using technology such as Dynamic Spectrum Allocation, the effectiveness of fixed countermeasures may become severely degraded. The BLADE program will develop algorithms and techniques that will let our electronic warfare systems to automatically learn to jam new RF threats in the field.Read more at Network World.
