Patent ID: 8170135

Claim:
A method for coordinating detection of emitted signals with transmission of signals in a platform having at least one transmitter that transmits signals in a first frequency range and at least one receiver system adapted to perform a previously computed scan strategy comprising a set of a plurality of dwells, the method comprising acts of: modifying the previously computed scan strategy during performance, by the at least one receiver system, of at least a portion of the previously computed scan strategy by: determining a first time at which at least one signal in the first frequency range is scheduled for transmission by the at least one transmitter; identifying, in the previously computed scan strategy, a first dwell from the plurality of dwells that is scheduled to be executed during the first time; determining whether a frequency range of the first dwell of the previously computed scan strategy conflicts with the first frequency range; and in response to determining that the frequency range of the first dwell of the previously computed scan strategy conflicts with the first frequency range, delaying execution of the first dwell for execution at a later time, wherein the act of delaying execution of the first dwell further comprises placing the first dwell in a delay queue.
