Description
FISSURE is an open-source RF framework built around GNU Radio that combines distributed sensing, geolocation, automation, and operator-focused workflows within a unified architecture. While GNU Radio remains the foundation for signal processing and SDR operations, recent development efforts have focused on transforming RF data into actionable situational awareness through target management, alerting, artifact collection, mapping, and tactical workflows.
This presentation highlights the evolution of FISSURE from a distributed sensor node framework into a platform for coordinating RF operations across multiple sensors and users. Demonstrations and real-world examples will showcase workflows involving signal discovery, target tracking, geolocation, alert generation, artifact management, and collaborative situational awareness.
A key area of development has been the introduction of a plugin architecture that enables new protocols, sensors, geolocation techniques, and operational workflows to be integrated without modifying the core framework. This approach allows researchers and developers to rapidly extend capabilities while leveraging common infrastructure for communication, automation, data management, visualization, and distributed execution.
The talk will also discuss the development of tactical user interfaces, integration with WinTAK and ATAK through Cursor-on-Target (CoT) messaging, and the challenges and design decisions involved in adapting GNU Radio-based capabilities to support operational decision-making and shared awareness. Examples will demonstrate how SDR processing, geospatial visualization, distributed sensor networks, and tactical workflows can be combined within an extensible open-source ecosystem.
