Summary	Previous research has demonstrated the feasibility of an "opportunistic" wirelessly networked digital phased array for ship based application. The elements are distributed over the ship surface and integrated into the structure (i.e., an aperstructure). The proposed research is to build a demonstration array at 2.4 GHz, taking advantage of low cost components available at this frequency. The demonstration array will have most of the functionality of the full scale system, although the performance is scaled back to save cost. The purpose of demonstration array is to examine timing and synchronization issues, and to develop controller and signal processing software. New array element concepts are also the subject of investigation.
