  • Publication number: 20210336651
    Abstract: Narrow brand IQ signals are obfuscated by embedding the signal in a buffered portion of wideband IQ frequency data. After the data has been received and buffered, the receiving transceiver, using a wideband IQ frequency data key, of a predetermined and shared format, decodes and reconstitute the narrowband IQ signal.

  • Publication number: 20210326725
    Abstract: The disclosed invention uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for detecting and classifying radiofrequency transmissions to model and simulate an RF environment. AI or machine learning (ML) algorithms further assist in determining optimal modulation, bandwidth and center frequency placement of a transmit signal to either fully and efficiently exploit unused spectrum in the RF environment, or to camouflage the signal to evade detection, and therefore interception while providing enough fidelity to the receiver to remain detectable. Such signal shaping is done while maintaining small SWaP-C footprint for system component hardware.

  • Publication number: 20210329097
    Abstract: Dynamic and reconfigurable data paths for data stream processing and visualization is hereafter described by way of example. Data analytics on streaming data is conducted upon the identification of data processing needs or requirements. As these needs are recognized data paths are independently formed providing each data processing functionality with access to a common data source As requirements change, as new data processing functionalities are requested or existing functionalities are terminated, a connection manager modifies the existing data path architecture while maintaining data paths for ongoing data processing.

  • Publication number: 20210327308
    Abstract: The disclosed invention uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for detecting and classifying radiofrequency (RF) transmissions to assemble a target signal library containing information about one or more target signals according to several criteria. A signal generator develops a mimic signal, designed to emulate a target signal based on information stored in the target signal library. In some embodiments, AI or machine learning (ML) algorithms further assist in refining the mimic signal to more effectively resemble the target signal. Such signal mimicry is done while maintaining small SWaP-C footprint for system component hardware.

  • Publication number: 20210311156
    Abstract: Using captured and stored wideband historical radio frequency data bearing information to the source of a signal of interest achieved using as few as two receivers and a plurality of commutating antennas. Wideband IQ data streams are received at two or more receivers and stored for later analysis. A first receiver is coupled to a reference antenna and a second receiver is commutatively coupled to a plurality of commutating antennas. Later, streams of wideband IQ data are retrieved for a select period of time and synchronized. From these streams a signal of interest identified and synchronously sampled over an acquisition interval by each receiver. Phase differences of the signal at each of the plurality commutating antennas is measured enabling a determination of the bearing to the common signal of interest.

  • Publication number: 20210226649
    Abstract: Capturing, extracting and storing narrowband IQ data for later processing enables timely and efficient analysis. As wideband capture of RF information includes noise and non-signal elements, the present invention detects, extracts and stores narrowband IQ signals for later assessment. By transforming a high-volume data stream to a collection of smaller narrowband signals with greatly reduced storage and on-board processing requirements the present invention facilitates the capability to analyze signals of interest in an otherwise denied environment.

  • Publication number: 20210118142
    Abstract: Data gathered from a continual data source is converted into an image and represented by a rectilinear grid defining a grid of pixels. Each pixel in each axis unit of one axis is examined in parallel using a graphic processor unit (GPU) to determine whether any pixels exceed a predefined threshold. Those pixels that exceed the threshold are identified as positive return pixels. Within each axis unit groups of positive return pixels are identified based on a first axis epsilon. Adjacent groups of positive return pixels are assembled by merging the axis units based on a second axis epsilon. Groups of positive return pixels grouped together according to the first axis epsilon and the second axis epsilon are classified and reported as a signal.

  • Publication number: 20210117809
    Abstract: An intelligent hierarchal agent structure responds to requests and inquires regarding a data environment by parsing the query to actionable sub-questions and assigning each to a primary agent. Upon examination of available data, the agent assesses whether the sub-question can be resolved or whether additional material is needed. In the later instance the agent seeks aid from subordinate or secondary agents which in turn seek aid of other agents in order to generate information as necessary to resolve to the question presented. Upon resolution of the question the output is placed in a common database which is continually monitored by each agent. Agents are engaged in parallel yet respond according to a hierarchal structure.

  • Publication number: 20210056466
    Abstract: Detection and classification of patterns in high speed streaming data using algorithmic learning processes creates transferable models. Synchronized local data models are housed in a data model repository and upon receiving one or more data points from a continual source of data a determination is made whether the newly collected data falls within an existing data model. If so, the detection is reported. If not the data is stored in an unknown data detection list. Clusters of the data residing in the unknown data list are formed and from those clusters statistical features extracted. An n-dimensional convex hull is fashioned bounding a region within which the statistical features lie thereby establishing a new class of data. The new class of data is, or can be, thereafter transferred to other existing models such that the receiving model can update its data model repository without performing any data analysis.

  • Publication number: 20200293517
    Abstract: Embodiments of goal-directed semantic search allow a user to discover how one or more entities (organizations, people, events, places, etc.) are related without having to explicitly define multiple queries to discover those relationships. In those cases in which more than one structure could be used, separate hypotheses are generated, one for each such structure or relationship. Hypotheses are scored during the process.

  • Publication number: 20200287996
    Abstract: A system adaptably directs packet flows to packet processing elements based on OSI layer characteristics and, when necessary, inspection of data payloads. Characteristics of parsed data flows are identified. A comparison ensues. Upon recognition of a match, the entirety of the packet flow is directed to a linked packet processing element. When a match does not occur, the packet flow is directed to a second analysis tier whereby data payloads of the flow are examined. Characteristics from the data payload analysis are compared to entries in a database. Upon a match being recognized the matching packet flow is directed to the packet processing element. Features of packet flow having undergone data payload analysis are captured and used to update the database of prior associations so that any subsequent receipt of similar packet flows will be forwarded to the linked packet processing element without having to conduct a data payload analysis.
