PROWESS: Processor Reconfiguration for Wideband Spectrum Sensing
DARPA’s Processor Reconfiguration for Wideband Sensor Systems (PROWESS) program aims to develop high-throughput, streaming-data processors that reconfigure in real time to detect and characterize novel signals. Through processors that self-reconfigure within 50 nanoseconds, PROWESS will enable “just-in-time” synthesis of processing pipelines in uncertain environments. PROWESS will allow future receivers to optimize performance to both measured spectrum conditions and the needs of cognitive RF decision logic.
