5. Low Probability of Intercept/Detection (LPI/LPD) Communications
Incorporating several advanced technologies to reduce the detectability of robotic communication signals, LPI/LPD technologies constitute a major development in covert combat communications. These systems use direct sequence spread spectrum and frequency hopping, advanced spread spectrum techniques that distribute signal energy across broad frequency ranges to lower power spectral density below ambient noise levels. By means of extremely short duration pulses difficult to identify and intercept, ultra-wideband transmission techniques improve signal security even more. Advanced signal processing techniques used in the implementation maximise transmission power levels while preserving dependability of communication lines. Time-division multiplexing methods and sophisticated encoding systems serve to hide communication patterns, therefore making it quite difficult for enemies to find or follow robot transmissions. These systems also have adaptive power control mechanisms that automatically change transmission power depending on distance and environmental circumstances, therefore ensuring efficient communication range and further lowering of the detection chance.
