摘要：

This paper presents an architecture that will enhance currently fielded and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems by providing wideband frequency maneuverability, collaboration between systems, and an integrated operator view of the electronic battlespace. The architecture is composed of a software control system and a photonic radio frequency (RF) front end. The architecture is designed to wrap the existing system between a control system and the photonics tuner to create a system-of-systems hierarchy with ultra-wide RF bandwidth. The current implementation of the architecture utilizes a prototype photonics RF front end that provides 40GHz of tunable frequency range and 4GHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The control and data communication occurs through an Ethernet local area network that forms a system-of-systems consisting of legacy or COTS systems.
