Summary

The Navy seeks a Direct to Phase II SBIR effort to develop an advanced multi‑user signal separation algorithm for tactical waveforms, implemented in a modular FPGA core, to improve likelihood generation for soft‑decision decoding under low‑SNR and jammed conditions. This capability aims to increase network capacity, range, and resilience of naval communications by delivering roughly a 3 dB performance gain over current receivers.
