Mission & acquisition strategy
The U.S. Navy/Marine Corps team is the most potent naval fighting force in the world. Fundamental to their success are the technologies necessary for effective distributed maritime operations. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) combines knowledge of the naval mission with researchers to select and explore solutions critical to expeditionary warfighting needs.

Project detail
What project 2958 buys
This Project activity provides freedom of maneuver and influence in the cyber-electronic warfare domain while simultaneously denying the same to the adversary and protecting critical command systems. Technologies are being developed using a multi-disciplinary approach that combines radio frequency electronics, digital signal processing, computer engineering, software engineering, machine learning and data science to support Naval Expeditionary Forces operating with size, weight, and power constrained equipment in denied, degraded, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) communications environments. Areas of applied research include distributed precision time, predictive software defined radio architectures, coordinated cyber and spectrum maneuver to mitigate detection and exploitation, tactical cyber visualization, discovering and mapping networks in dense urban environments, contextual awareness and blind channel characterization.
