ORCHESTRA: Optimizable RF Converged Hardware Expression of a Scalable Transmit/Receive Architecture

The need for disruptive advances in warfighter capability, upgradability, and utilization drives sensor systems toward convergent RF functionality with shared resources. The reliance of modern federated RF systems on redundant hardware leads to underutilization and inefficient use of SWaP-C. In pursuit of affordable solutions to this shortfall, converged RF and heterogeneous digital signal processing combine with existing open standard system-of-systems platform concepts to enable the next generation of platform and mission capability, through a true digital array interface to the RF environment.
