Spectrum Superiority Systems

Warfighters are facing increasingly advanced technical adversaries on a dynamic, multi-domain battlefield. We are leading the effort for advances in mobility, signal processing capability, technology insertion, and cross-mission integration. Key technologies include those contributing to reductions in size, weight, and power, and new software development toolkits such as hybrid field programmable gate array and graphics processing unit (FPGA/GPU) signal processors. This combination of speed to fielding and increased mobility is needed in today’s environment where advances in beamforming and spot beam formation make versatility and adaptability a must.

We have a proven software-defined radio capability that is a custom solution built onto the GNU Radio platform to create a highly customizable form factor. Leveraging open-source libraries as a base, we can rapidly create signal processing blocks to meet customer needs agnostic of production hardware. Deployment to SDR hardware can be done quickly without rebuilding the system. This includes adding additional radio capability (modem blocks) to the system without requiring a complete rebuild.

We have a long history of successfully integrating Military Specification (MIL-SPEC) platforms in either a prime mover or towed configuration with COTS products. To ensure that tactical platforms are developed with the necessary rigor, we have developed sound and deliberate engineering practices to confirm their operation and survivability. A variety of simulation tools are used by our experienced engineering team to iteratively develop tactical systems using applicable environmental parameters and specifications highlighted in MIL-STD 810H. These parameters are combined with known equipment specifications and simulated with either computation fluid dynamics (CFD) or finite element analysis (FEA) to produce thermal load, mechanical load, and shock/vibration analyses.
