CONCLUSION
In this article, we have described the basic constructs of the sense
and adapt capabilities of the third generation of the HFSWR system developed in conjunction with Defence Research and Development Canada. The system is a significant evolution beyond
the previous generations. The PRISM system has demonstrated
the capabilities of automated sense and adapt technology applied
to spectrum management. This effectively enables operation of
HFSWR within a noninterference and nonprotected basis without detriment to HFSWRs detection and tracking capabilities. The
wideband impulse noise detection techniques are described and
represent another example of sense and adapt capabilities.
The PRISM system and impulse noise rejection functions
are carried out automatically without operator input or control.
However, both functions are extensively parameterized allowing for customization of the capability. The sense-and-adapt nature of these capabilities is an instantiation of intelligent radar
operation. It is evident that Canada's Third Generation HFSWR
is a radar with cognitive characteristics.
