ROME, N.Y. — The U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) has awarded ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC a $750,000, 24-month direct-to-phase-II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract.
The pact seeks to develop jammer-resistant, wireless-communication capabilities for the Air Force. The novel capability called ADJUST – Adaptive and Dynamic Jammer nUlling System with multi-resolution Transform domains — will be used to adaptively detect and suppress the effect of jammers that can impact or compromise various radio-frequency (RF) communication signals and associated spectrum bands.
ANDRO’s Marconi-Rosenblatt Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Innovation Lab, will lead the work, headed up by Jithin Jagannath principal investigator, lab director, and chief scientist, in cooperation with a research team that includes Keyvan Ramezanpour, Anu Jagannath, and Justin Henny.

“We have all seen even in the most recent events how hostile jamming is a constant challenge to RF systems,” Jagannath said in a news release. “These challenges are further exacerbated in satellite communication and navigation systems where the high sensitivity of the receiver is critical. We have an excellent team tackling this challenge head on with a unique approach.”
The opportunity further accelerates the pace of the lab’s current research in advancing jammer-resilient technologies for wireless communications, ANDRO President Andrew Drozd noted, and may lead to phase III opportunities to transition the capability to the warfighter and potential commercial applications.
Established in 1994, ANDRO focuses on scientific research, development, and the application of advanced computer software for radio-frequency-spectrum exploitation, secure wireless communications, cognitive radios, advanced-radar data fusion, sensor-resource management, computational electromagnetics, and cosite modeling and simulation.
