Welcome

The Navwar concept is to maintain navigation superiority on the future battlefield in which friendly and opposing forces are often intermixed. The prevention hardware, software, and techniques developed during this program will be capable of being employed from a variety of platforms, in a multitude of operational environments. In addition, advanced protection technologies will be incorporated into current GPS receivers to improve their operational capabilities.

Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man

While the computer scientists agreed that we are a long way from Hal, they said there was legitimate concern that technological progress would transform the work force by destroying a widening range of jobs, as well as force humans to learn to live with machines that increasingly copy human behaviors.

navWar

The Navwar Program has subelements within the framework of the overall program, each element focuses on separate yet complimentary operational objectives. These elements will be designed to operate either individually or together in a synergistic approach to ensuring satellite navigation superiority within a theater of operations. Once developed, the prevention technologies explored during this will form the baseline from which advanced techniques can be created and tailored to meet emerging threats.

The Navwar Protection Program is focused on developing new technologies to enhance operational capability in both friendly and hostile satellite navigation EW environments.

The RFID system

An RFID system may consist of several components: tags, tag readers, edge servers, middleware, and application software.

The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a mobile device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics about the product tagged, such as price, color, date of purchase, etc. The use of RFID in tracking and access applications first appeared during the 1980s. RFID quickly gained attention because of its ability to track moving objects. As the technology is refined, more pervasive and possibly invasive uses for RFID tags are in the works.

In a typical RFID system, individual objects are equipped with a small, inexpensive tag. The tag contains a transponder with a digital memory chip that is given a unique electronic product code. The interrogator, an antenna packaged with a transceiver and decoder, emits a signal activating the RFID tag so it can read and write data to it. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the reader's activation signal. The reader decodes the data encoded in the tag's integrated circuit (silicon chip) and the data is passed to the host computer for processing.

WiMAX

WiMAX is a wireless metropolitan area network (MAN) technology that can connect 802.11(Wi-Fi) hotspots to the Internet and provide a wireless extension to cable and DSL for last mile (last km) broadband access. 802.16 provides up to 50 km (31 miles) of linear service area range and allows users connectivity without a direct line of sight to a base station. Note that this should not be taken to mean that users 50 km (31 miles) away without line of sight will have connectivity.
