Raytheon Company recently won a one year, $1.34 million contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design, develop, and enhance spectrum utilization techniques for wireless communications.

The project will expand DARPA’s ability to communicate adaptively in a crowded and spectrum-limited environment.

“It is a critical issue in wireless communications that spectrum resources need to be more efficiently utilized than they currently are,” said Dr. Bob Berezdivin, chief scientist of Raytheon’s Information and Advanced Systems. “Raytheon plans to develop new and enhanced techniques in next generation wireless communications, thereby enabling the military to enhance the capabilities to conduct network centric operations that increasingly depend on effective wireless communications in a wide range of operational environments. Shared spectrum techniques can also be a leap forward for commercial service providers, where capacities are being limited by spectrum availability.”
