A missile guidance system designed to operate on GPS signals in an anti-jamming environment. The inventive system includes first, second and third airborne vehicles (20). A GPS receiver (24) is mounted on each of the three vehicles (20) to receive signals transmitted from spaceborne satellites (14). Each vehicle (20) acts as a pseudo-satellite or "pseudolite'. The received GPS signals are processed by a processor (26) to provide a first intermediate signal indicating the position of the vehicle (20). This signal is retransmitted from each vehicle and received by a GPS receiver mounted on a missile. The received intermediate signal is processed on the missile to provide an output signal indicating the position thereof. The pseudolites would be airborne in the vicinity of a target area. Because the pseudolites are relatively close to the targets compared to a satellite in high altitude orbit and because the pseudolites would be able to transmit a kilowatt or more power, the signal strength may be improved significantly. To succeed as a jammer, a jammer, successful against GPS satellites, would need considerably more power to succeed against aircraft carried pseudolites. The pseudolite system delivers GPS signals into the target area 40-70 dB stronger than signals coming directly from GPS satellites. By timing the signals for 100% time coverage, enemy C/A code receivers will be jammed because they are limited to a J/S capability of 30 dB.

Systems and methods of using machine-learning in a cognitive radio to avoid a jammer are described. Smoothed power spectral density is used to detect activity in a sub-band and basic characteristics of different signals therein extracted. If unable to classify the signals as either a valid signal or a jammer using the basic characteristics, ANN-based classification with cumulants features of the signals is used. Multiple periods are used to train sensing and communications (S/C) polices to track and avoid a jammer using RL (e.g. Q learning). The ANN has input neurons of higher order cumulants of a sensing channel and a single output neuron. The S/C polices are coupled during training and communication using negative or decreasing rewards based on the time the sensing policy takes to determine jammer presence and that the cognitive radio is jammed. A feedback channel provides a new communications channel to a radio transmitting to the cognitive radio.
