Strategic Vision
Dominance of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

• Develop the technologies to dominate the EM
  spectrum and enable revolutionary capabilities
  for signal generation, transmission, reception,
  and processing. Enable powerful new warfighting
  technologies such as multistatic radar in
  low-observable environments, networked electronic
  warfare, undetectable wide-band wireless
  communications, and substantially higher
  data-rate communications channels as well as the
  detection, identification and countermeasures of
  similar threat technologies.

We can effectively use the spectrum anytime we
want. They can use the spectrum only when we let
them.

  sources and high performance platforms and
  propulsion
• Digital RF, Multi-Function Technology
• Develop the technology which will allow the
  integration of Radar, Electronic Warfare, and
  Communication functions into a common set of RF
  apertures capable of supporting multiple
  simultaneous beams such that the functionality is
  defined by software Also, space, weight, power
  and cost requirements are reduced

Research Area Summary

• The ISR, Sensors, and Electronics research areas
  have produced a wealth of significant discoveries
  that have enabled new FNC projects, have
  transitioned directly to programs of record, or
  have transitioned to an immediate operational
  application.
• Keep your eyes out for BAAs in these areas. They
  typically come out once a year, sometime between
  November and February.
• ONR looks forward to your ideas and inputs on how
  we can continue to meet the needs of the
  Fleet/Forces through this research area.
