BAE Systems under a DARPA project, has demonstrated new small-form-factor semiconductor technology designed to sense radio frequency and communication signals in battle environments in conjunction with a drone. The Hedgehog technology, which was used in this exercise to sense radio frequency (RF) and communication signals in congested and contested battle environments in conjunction with an unmanned aerial system, is a collection of general-purpose, reconfigurable MATRICs chips in a software-defined radio (SDR) system, the company said in a
