DARPA Wants Extreme Wireless Interference Buster

coondoggie writes "This month the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will begin looking for technology that will let wireless communications work through the most extreme interference. From the article: 'The CommEx program will assess next generation and beyond jamming threats and then develop advanced interference suppression and avoidance technologies to successfully communicate in the presence of severe, traditional, and novel types of interference that are orders-of-magnitude more severe than what are currently addressed by the most advanced systems, DARPA stated.'"

LDPC, spread spectrum and more EIRP. Or are they hoping to overturn Shannon ?
Really, the state of the art is fractions of a dB away from theory. There are no further breakthroughs to be found. Unless you count social engineering the bad guys to block the wrong signals.
