This paper discusses the progress of this team's project known as IMPACT (Integrated Multi-use Phased Array Common Tile), which addresses a major goal of the DARPA Arrays at Commercial Timescales (ACT) program. The goal of this program has been to develop a common technology base for Electronically Scanned Array (ESA) systems. Historically, most fielded ESA systems have been comprised of highly tailored, application-specific layers. This has led to slow design cycles, costly components, and significant portions of the total cost of ownership being invested in the up-front Non-Recurring Expenses (NRE). The results section highlights the receiver side of our progress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
