reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA378692 | Open PDF

Abstract:

We conducted a comprehensive on-site review of selected contractors and Government laboratories involved in Ultra Wideband testing and technology development. The review was supported by documentation received from the Balanced Technology Initiative Office, DARPA Ultra Wideband Program Office, Battelle Tactical Technology Center, Columbus, Ohio, Panel members, and presenters. We conducted an extensive evaluation of Ultra Wideband technology, impulse radar, threat assessment related to stealth platforms, test results of Ultra Wideband systems and development of basic theories of operation of Ultra Wideband systems.
