Evolving weapons, tactics, and the command and control structure demand flexible, reliable, and high rate communications. Flexibility must include interoperability, connectivity, and reconstructability. Reliability must be maintained in a dynamic, hostile electromagnetic environment. Unfriendly c3cm attacks are both passive and active with bandwidth and data rate becoming extremely scarce under these conditions. An "adaptive/AI" transform domain spread spectrum communications transceiving and network system, with inherent EW capability, is proposed for improved system performance against c3cm attacks. Adaptive networking capability is possessed by the proposed system, due to the ability of the transceiver to modify the transmitted waveform power and spectral characteristics. Artificial intelligence expert systems techniques are also proposed for investigation to "build-in" design and field experience in controlling the transceiver and network.
