CSLabs Awarded a Phase II DARPA SBIR for Foliage Propagation Model Development to Support New Communication Concepts
February 12, 2014
CSLabs was awarded this contact by DARPA to develop the Foliage Abstraction RF Multiscale Estimation Rendering (FARMER) methodology to overcome the limitations of traditional RF modeling. FARMER applies an innovative multiscale calculation approach that dynamically adjusts computational resources and modeling fidelity based on scenario complexity. It integrates acceleration algorithms, parallel processing, and adaptive selection of propagation models to deliver accurate predictions of signal behavior across a broad frequency range (up to 300 GHz). FARMER supports standalone use or modular integration into existing modeling frameworks and is applicable to military RF systems, radar, SAR, sensor networks, and more. The result is a highly flexible and powerful solution capable of simulating realistic RF behavior in dense, cluttered environments.
