Statement of Objectives (SOO) #2 “Expanding the Frequency Range and Power Output of Microwave Sources

Using Tunable COTS Magnetrons with Plug and Play Architecture”

Technical Area 1 – Susceptibility Technical Area 4 – HPM/HPEM Laboratory Source and Technology Development

The work to be performed in this proposed effort will expand the testing capabilities of AFRL/RDHE.

AFRL/RDHE maintains several high power sources, but these only operate at very specific frequencies. A comprehensive test capability would test microwave effects at high power across a broad frequency spectrum. Using tunable sources, operating at a range of frequencies and power outputs, will be critical when conducting tests of HPM effects on targets ranging from individual digital components and computers to full scale military hardware.

The objective of this effort is to expand the frequency range of HPM sources available to AFRL/RDHE at a notional power output of 1 Megawatt (MW). The Contractor may utilize existing sources available from AFRL/RDHE, or may propose other sources to achieve the objectives of the contract. The Contractor shall provide one or more sources which are tunable across the desired frequency bands listed in Section 2.0.

AFRL/RDHE desires to develop a system/network that contains the resulting source(s).

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED

The contractor shall use the developed source(s) to test a variety of Government-identified, Government-provided targets for susceptibility. The contractor shall monitor these tests and make any changes to the equipment necessary to maximize effects on electronic systems.

3.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The high-power microwave (HPM) Effects Modeling and Simulation Team within AFRL/RDHE already has a suite of HPM sources and equipment for effects testing.

However, effects at high power levels are constrained to the limited frequency range of each source. With tunable sources augmented by power amplification systems, AFRL/RDHE would gain the capability to conduct effects testing at a much larger range of frequencies in the range of interest. This would be particularly helpful for simulating effects based on a known source.

Many digital systems are required to operate correctly in the HPEM environment.

This is particularly important for digital systems operating in a military environment.

In this case, normal electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility requirements for commercial off the shelf equipment may not be adequate.

Specifically, an HPM signal incident on a digital system can result in upset of the system, where it may reboot or lock up.

There has been significant progress in the last few years in understanding how an HPM waveform interacts with complex devices, such as metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and complementary metal–oxide–semiconductors (CMOSs). Translating such understanding into how HPM signals interact with and upset a complete digital system is more difficult, since the radio frequency (RF) energy may couple into multiple traces and embedded integrated circuits simultaneously, resulting in signals that potentially corrupt multiple logic and/or clock logic pulses. As a result of this complexity, so far no reliable predictive RF effects model exists for describing the observed upset behavior of digital electronic devices outside of the normal operating parameters. AFRL/RDHE needs to understand and characterize in more detail the process by which a digital system is upset and the state of the system after it is upset in frequencies ranging from 10 megahertz to 5 gigahertz.

Statement of Objectives (SOO) #3 “Radio Frequency (RF) Upset of Digital Systems”

Technical Area 1 – Susceptibility Experimentation Technical Area 2 – Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis

The work to be performed will include experimental work and supporting analysis to characterize the interaction of an HPEM signal with a digital system (such as a Personal Computer (PC)), leading to a better understanding of the state of the system when upset.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED

The objective of this effort is to further develop understanding of the process of upset for digital systems (such as PCs) when illuminated by a High Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) signal to enable the development of predictive system models. AFRL/RDH is also interested in exploring the effects of employing alternative system technologies, and the impact of varying waveform parameters such as pulse repetition rate on digital system susceptibility.

3.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Many digital systems, such as PCs, are required to operate correctly in the presence of high-level Radio Frequency (RF) environments. This is particularly important for digital systems operating in a military environment. In this case, normal EMI/EMC requirements for Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) equipment may not be adequate.

Specifically, an HPEM signal incident on a PC can result in upset of the system, where it may reboot or lock up. Hence, AFRL/RDH wishes to develop a capability for predicting when such an upset might occur, as a function of the HPEM waveform parameters. As a first step, RDH needs to characterize the process of upset, and determine the resulting state (hardware and software) of the digital system.

There has been significant progress in the last few years in understanding how an HPEM waveform interacts with individual Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs), and with more complex Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon (CMOS) devices. Translating such understanding into how HPEM signals interact with and upset complete digital system is more difficult, since the RF energy may couple into multiple traces and circuit elements simultaneously, resulting in signals that potentially corrupt multiple logic and/or clock logic pulses. As a result of this complexity, no comprehensive predictive system-level models exist for digital upset.

Previous efforts have established an initial understanding of the process whereby a

SOO #3

CALL 0006 SOO #3

digital system is upset by an HPEM waveform by identifying the most vulnerable system components and loading conditions of the digital system, and establishing some potential processes that would likely lead to upset.

The next step is to validate and model the effects and the underlying electronics investigated under previous efforts, and further breakdown the process of digital system upset as isolated.

CONTINUATION OF DD FORM 254 FOR SOO#1

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) ADDENDUM

The following procedures will be used to protect FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) material:

1. HANDLING: Access to FOUO material shall be limited to those employees needing the material to do their jobs. The FOUO marking is assigned to material created by a DoD user agency. FOUO is not a classification, but requires extra precaution to insure it is not released to the public.

2. MARKING UNCLASSIFIED: Mark unclassified documents containing FOUO; “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” at the bottom of each page and back cover (if any). Paragraphs, sentences, illustrations, and figures that are deemed to be FOUO will be portion marked (FOUO) at the beginning of the item. FOUO material released to a contractor by a DoD user agency must have the following statement on the front page or cover: “THIS

DOCUMENT CONTAINS MATERIAL EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FREEDOM

OF INFORMATION ACT. EXEMPTION(S)______________APPLY.”

3. MARKING CLASSIFIED: In a classified document, mark:

a. An individual paragraph that contains FOUO, but not classified material by placing “U//FOUO” at the beginning of the paragraph.

b. The top and bottom of each page that has both FOUO and classified material with the highest security classification of the material on that page.

c. “UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” at the bottom of each page that has FOUO but no classified material.

d. If a classified document also contains FOUO material or if the classified material becomes FOUO when declassified, place the following statement on the bottom of the cover or the first page under the classification marking: “NOTE: If declassified, review the document to make sure material is not FOUO and not exempt under AFI 37-131 before public release.”

e. Mark other records such as computer print outs, photographs, films, tapes, or slides “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” so the receiver or viewer knows the record contains FOUO material.

f. Insure documents that transmit FOUO material call attention to any FOUO attachments.

4. FOUO DETERMINATION: All documents determined to contain FOUO information will identify the FOUO exemption criteria from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), by sighting the applicable paragraph number.

FOUO material released to a contractor by a DoD user agency must have the following statement on the front page or cover: “THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS MATERIALS EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE

UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. EXEMPTION(S) ______________APPLY.”

5. STORAGE: During normal duty hours, place FOUO material in an out-of-sight location, if your work area is accessible to persons who do not have a valid need for the material. After normal duty hours, store FOUO material to prevent unauthorized access. File with other unclassified records in unlocked files or disks when internal building security is provided. When there is not internal security, locked buildings or rooms usually provide adequate after-hours protection. For additional protection, store FOUO material in locked container such as file cabinets, disks, or bookcases. Expenditure of funds for security container or close areas solely for the protection of FOUO material is prohibited.

6. TRANSMISSION: FOUO material shall be transmitted by the same methods as other unclassified material.

Discussion of FOUO material on the telephone is authorized if necessary for the performance of the contract.

FOUO material may be transmitted over telephone lines in digital form, by telecopies, or by other DSN Teletype lines without encryption.

7. RELEASE: FOUO material shall not be released outside the contractor’s facility except to representatives of the DOD.

8. DESTRUCTION: When no longer needed, FOUO material shall be disposed of by a method that precludes its disclosure to unauthorized individuals.
