Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking information on best practices and innovative approaches for distributed general-purpose radio frequency (RF) signal processing. The goal is to standardize the control, scheduling, and processing of advanced RF systems to enhance performance, efficiency, and interoperability in complex operational environments. The areas of interest include standardization of RF hardware control, aperture scheduling, distributed computing in RF apertures, and heterogeneous acceleration of RF processing.
Some key points to consider:
• Standardization of RF hardware control using existing standards like ACPI
• Aperture scheduling techniques for multi-purpose apertures
• Distributed computing architectures for RF apertures
• Heterogeneous acceleration of RF processing using a mix of processors
The responses to this RFI will be used to inform future program development and interoperability for existing DARPA capabilities.
