Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare
Reconfigurable Platforms for Rapid Deployments on Multiple Projects
Maximize your ROI with a common hardware platform. Our software reconfigurable signal processing solutions
offer flexibility and upgradeability for different mission profiles.
Your signals intelligence (SIGINT)/electronic warfare (EW) systems require reliable, accurate, and high performance systems to detect, locate and
counter hostile signals in the field.
- Wideband Spectral Analysis
- Spectral Monitoring with Multi-channel Direction Finding
- Channelized Receivers with Beam Forming
- Electronic Support (Detection, Direction Finding) and Electronic Attack (Interception, Deception, Jamming, Neutralization)
Our "IF to Ethernet" solutions come with relevant source code illustrating
data flows and system examples to provide a starting point for application design.
Spectrum's reconfigurable architecture allows reuse of common technology and
knowledge across multiple teams on different projects.
Our platforms integrate easily with custom or 3rd party systems through standards-based interfaces
for back-end processing for control and storage. Start with our standards-based COTS products and utilize our
modified COTS processes
to bring you rapidly from development to prototype to deployment to future upgrades.
The Spectrum Advantage for SIGINT/EW
- System modularity and scalablity to meet specific mission requirements
- Reduced power consumption and heat dissipation
- Components that can be easily swapped or upgraded in the field
Other technical advantages of Spectrum's SIGINT and EW solutions:
- Support for new waveforms and feature sets through
real-time software reconfiguration of our platforms
- Reduced response time from detection to action with high-speed, low latency, deterministic data and control paths between
processing elements
- Support multiple synchronous digital IF channels with the ability to
accurately associate input channels with time of day or external events
- Reconfigurable wide and narrowband channelization technology can
support a changing mix of hundreds of simultaneous wideband and/or narrowband receive channels

SDR platform enables reconfigurable direction finding system (pdf)
Published January 2005 CompactPCI and AdvancedTCA Systems
Read how the SDR-3000 platform was used to
implement a reconfigurable direction finding system. This article describes the
intended data flow and data rate requirements of a typical DF system, maps the
DF software components to the SDR platform, and demonstrates the availability
of resources for more complex implementations.

A Reconfigurable Software Digital Architecture for Electronic Signal Interception,
Identification, Communication, and Jamming (pdf)
Published April 2002 COTS Journal
Software programmable radios, such as those for use in JTRS, are best implemented by a balanced
architecture using CPUs, FPGAs and a high-speed interconnect such as RapidIO.
