Efficient integration of the functions of communications, radio navigation and cooperative identification (CNI) will provide significant improvement in both combined and single function availability, while providing the flexibility to adapt to changing mission requirements. This improvement is achieved by providing increased levels of commonality and connectivity among the processing elements, maintained by the distribution of the terminal control and built-in-test. Advances in technology, such as RF-LSI, VHSIC and high power semiconductor development has led to accompanying advances in receiver, processor and transmitter design, respectively, that make realizable the processing modular elements necessary for the required architectures. Since the CNI waveform performance is dictated by interoperability, the power of these new technologies must be applied to flexible and “broadband” modules to process the waveforms.
