[Docket No. ARY-240628A-PL]


Notice of Intent To Grant an Exclusive Patent License

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Bayh-Dole Act and implementing regulations, 
the Department of the Air Force hereby gives notice of its intent to 
grant an exclusive patent license agreement to Raider Technologies, 
LLC, a limited liability company of the State of Ohio, having a place 
of business at 526 Garden Road, Oakwood, OH 419.

DATES: Written objections must be filed no later than fifteen (15) 
calendar days after the date of publication of this Notice.

ADDRESSES: Submit written objections to Richard Mescher, Air Force 
Materiel Command Law Office, AFMCLO/JAZ, 2240 B Street, Room 260, 
Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-7109; Facsimile: (937) 255-3733; or 
email: [email protected]. Include Docket No. ARY-240628A-PL in 
the subject line of the message.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Mescher, Air Force Materiel 
Command Law Office, AFMCLO/JAZ, 2240 B Street, Rm. 260, Wright-
Patterson AFB, OH 45433-7109; Facsimile: (937) 255-3733; email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to 
grant the partially exclusive patent license agreement for the 
invention described in: U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 17/761.326, 
filed September 19, 2020, and entitled ``A Continuous-Phase Modulation 
Based Power Efficient Tunable Joint Radar/Communications System''.

Abstract of Patent Application

    Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for 
generating and utilizing radar signals with embedded data are 
disclosed. Data is encoded onto a CPM waveform, which is then combined 
with a base radar waveform to produce a radar-embedded communication 
(REC) waveform. Both the CPM waveform and the base radar waveform may 
have a continuous phase and constant envelope, resulting in the REC 
waveform having a continuous phase and constant envelope. The changing 
(e.g., on a pulse-to-pulse basis) nature of the REC waveform causes RSM 
of clutter which may result in residual clutter after clutter 
cancellation, decreasing target detection performance of the radar 
system. In an aspect, various parameters may be utilized to dynamically 
adjust the performance of the radar system for a particular operating 
scenario, such as to enhance radar signal processing or enhance data 
communication capabilities.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for

a patent license agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 
and received by the Air Force within the period for timely objections, 
will be treated as an objection and may be considered as an alternative 
to the proposed license.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
