U.S. DoD Selects Spectrum’s SDR-3000 Family of Software Reconfigurable Platforms for JTRS Test and Certification Activities
]
Spectrum’s flexComm SDR-3000 family of software reconfigurable platforms has been selected for the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Joint Program Office (JPO) as a representative JTR hardware set. The SDR-3000 architecture will be used by the U.S. Department of Defense for independent verification and validation of JTRS waveforms for the following purposes:
- Software Communications Architecture (SCA) acceptance and compliance testing of JTRS waveforms;
- Supporting the advancement of the Software Communications Architecture; and,
- Providing growth capabilities for the acceptance and compliance testing of future JTRS waveforms.
Find out how we can assist you in your JTRS developments!

Join Us at Milcom, the Premier International Conference for Military Communications
]
Join Spectrum in booth 804 at the Military Communications Conference & Exposition in Boston, October 13-15, 2003 to see a live demonstration of the Harris Software Communications Architecture (SCA) implemented on the flexComm SDR-3000 software-defined radio platform.
Spectrum will also be presenting in two conference tracks:
Lee Pucker, Chief Technology Officer will be presenting on the Applicability of the JTRS Software Communications Architecture in Advanced MILSATCOM Terminals.
Frank Van Hooft, Manager of Systems Engineering will present his discussion on A Heterogeneous Software Defined Radio Architecture for Electronic Signal Interception, Identification and Jamming. Don’t miss your chance to hear these exceptional speakers!

Spectrum Delivers Software Reconfigurable Platforms to Major Defense Contractors for Military Applications
]
Recently we announced 2 major customer wins for the Military market!
Thales Underwater Systems, the major supplier of sonar and allied systems to naval forces worldwide, will be using our SDR-3000 family of software reconfigurable platforms for detection of mines from an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).
More information on Thales Underwater Systems Win.
We will be providing a software defined radio (SDR) demonstration system running a wideband, ad hoc networking waveform based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to a
major U.S. Defense Contractor that provides software defined radios to the military.
Read more about the OFDM announcement.
Both customers selected Spectrum’s flexComm SDR-3000 platform for its heterogeneous processing architecture, which can combine high performance Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) from Xilinx®, PowerPC® processors from Motorola and IBM, and DSPs from Texas Instruments. In order to get maximum benefit from the processing power of the platform, RapidIO™ and Spectrum’s Solano® fabric provide high-speed interconnects between the processors.

A Great Excuse for a Holiday in Disney World! Spectrum Co-sponsors SDR Forum Technical Conference and Product Exposition
]
We are co-sponsoring and exhibiting at the Software Defined Radio Forum Technical Conference and Product Exposition, November 17-19, 2003 in Orlando, Florida. Visit Spectrum’s booth where will be demonstrating our software defined radio platforms.
Also see our outstanding technical presentation on:
CHANNELIZATION TECHNIQUES IN SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO
Lee Pucker’s presentation will compare and contrast the variety of different channelization techniques that have been employed in infrastructure systems by exploring some of the practical aspects of implementation of channelization methods in a software defined radio platform.
