1. A method for scalable on-array processing and interference mitigation using adaptive beamforming, comprising:
calibrating, via an arbitrary processor node, a plurality of aggregated weight vectors for a plurality of subarray elements within a phased array, wherein the arbitrary processor node is from a plurality of processor nodes;
determining, via a corresponding processor node, if a covariance matrix is full rank in relation to each of the plurality of aggregated weight vectors, wherein each of the plurality of subarray elements is associated with the corresponding processor node from the plurality of processor nodes;
generating, via the corresponding processor node, an interference mitigation protocol for each of the plurality of subarray elements based on at least one of the aggregated weight vector and the covariance matrix; and
outputting, via the plurality of subarray elements, an adaptive beam pattern in accordance with the interference mitigation protocol, wherein the adaptive beam pattern includes a at least one high-directionality beam generated by at least one first subarray element and at least one mitigation signal modulated by at least one second subarray element.
