Summary New algorithms for the automatic detection and classification of Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) emitters have been developed in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School. The initial implementation of these algorithms, done in Matlab, confirms the correctness and applicability of the algorithms but the implementation does not run fast enough to be practical. This research is a continuation of previous work to develop a very high speed implementation of the new algorithms on a reconfigurable super computer, the SRC-6. Utilization of the SRC-6 will allow the algorithms to execute at real time or near real time speeds while utilizing 100% COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) computing hardware.
