DRDC Workshop: Workshop on Wireless communications and sensing for Space-based Applications
Tuesday, November 12
10:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Chair: Ms. Anne Young, DRDC
Space-based observation, navigation and communications systems operate in a harsh physical environment (e.g., solar radiation, particle radiation) and need to deal with the mechanical and electromagnetic hazards that occur from human activities, such as orbital debris and RF spectral congestion.
The capabilities of Space systems and their payloads are constrained by system design choices and the impacts upon them due to this congested, contested and competitive space environment. Space system resiliency is a means for these space systems to mitigate these effects upon them and their payloads.
This workshop is inviting presentations on areas of research that can mitigate electromagnetic space hazards upon the wireless element of space systems.
Topic areas could be quantum radar, quantum communications, autonomous control of wireless devices, novel signal processing techniques to detect wireless signals in space, and the use of machine-learning algorithms to characterize and control signals.
