This may be more political than technological. I remember proposing joint use of the Lynx radar on the Predator UAV for communications with soldiers on the battlefield and being told "that was not our job". It would have saved SWAP, bandwidth and increased local connectivity.

I was just getting used to calling HP Agilent, and now the new Electronic Measurement Co. will be called "to be named later". I can understand the business split between medical and electronics, but wish the latter kept the Agilent name.

Sounds like AI and clustering techniques for parameter estimation and ECM development. The next step is for radar ECCM to develop adaptive waveforms.
