Project Background
The US Army Cyber Institute needs a novel new design for a signal detection and classification system to rapidly assess a battlefield RF environment for both friendly and hostile systems/communications.
Project Description
The war in Ukraine has shown the emerging importance of low cost RF controlled systems and sensors, which rely on a variety of novel and commercial communication methods (5G, Satcom, HF, Proprietary waveforms, etc.). Due to this growth of employment, commanders need a system to quickly detect, classify, and locate these systems within their environment in order to decide on optimal forms of response. While commercial scanners exist for common RF systems (you probably have a few on your phone already), such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G cellular, these are fixed solutions based on known waveforms and frequencies that make detection and classification very easy to perform. This project will focus on a solution to assess the RF spectrum in order to detect new RF transmission waveforms and attempt to classify the source of the transmission.
This is a relatively active project within the DoD, and it is possible that SBIR funding for some aspects of this will be available in the future to encourage creation of a small business to support design, delivery, and implementation of this device.
The sponsor will provide a short introductory lesson on RF, RF tools, and a few public prototype tools to aid in solution development (Python-based). Experience in RF engineering is not required, but familiarity of general concepts will be helpful. Recommend both programming and electrical engineering experience present on team.

Job Title : Student Assistant for Designing for Defense
Job Duties and Qualifications : In the planning process, preparation for operations, and actual execution of the Designing for Defense course in all of its complexity, the instructional team requires assistance in the building of promotional materials, recruiting students to enroll in the class, qualifying students, assigning students to teams, building read-ahead materials for the six teams which will be addressing specific military sponsor problems, determining appropriate virtual/hybrid class operation tools/procedures/policies/protocols, and coordinating the necessary individual Zoom kick-off calls for military sponsors, instructors, and students on each of the six teams.
In addition, once the semester has begun the instruction team will require assistance with coordination of up to 40 students, six military sponsor organizations, and approximately 15 mentors who will be participating in our virtual/hybrid/in-person class each week to be certain they understand and follow the appropriate class protocols and procedures required to conduct such a large virtual/hybrid class structure with dynamic presentations, questions, lectures, feedback, etc.
Because Designing for Defense (D4D) is a completely unique course and will require someone with considerable experience in how the class operates and the primary objectives of the course, it is essential that the Student Assistant hired to support this course be a former D4D student.

The candidate should have a demonstrated level of technical competency (Engineering, Computer Science, etc.) since nearly every problem assigned to our student teams by their DoD/IC sponsoring agencies will incorporate some type of advanced technology.
Pay rate :We expect the Student Assistant to be paid $20.00 to $28.00 per hour, depending on their qualifications.
How to apply for the job : Interested applicants should send their resume and an appropriate application cover letter to the Instructor for the D4D course (Andrew Meyer) atmeyerandy1228@msn.com. Applications should be received by NLT September 18, 2024. All applications will be reviewed by the D4D instructor (Andrew Meyer) so that a final hiring decision can be made by September 20, 2024.
