THE BIG STORY
Greater processing power, advanced filtering, and better signal rejection are among the digital signal processing enabling technologies for electronic warfare projects today.
EW TECHNOLOGIES
Hypersonic missiles are exposed to shock, vibration, heat, and thermal shock, which requires designing hardened guidance and navigation technologies.
The Northrop Grumman APG-83 AESA scalable agile-beam radar (SABR) fire-control radar systems the F-16’s structural, power, and cooling constraints.
ADAP payloads lure missiles away from their intended targets with advanced electronic techniques, and are an upgrade to the existing Nulka decoy.
EPAWSS replaces analog system with a digital EW suite that enables the F-15 to operate among modern threats environment with dense RF backgrounds.
EW CONTRACTS
The AN/APG-79 AESA radar provides F/A-18 aircrew situational awareness, near-instantaneous track updates, and multi-target tracking capability.
The CEC is an anti-aircraft maritime tactical sensor and weapons network that combines information from aircraft and surface vessels over wide areas.
The KC-46 aircraft is based on the Boeing 767-200 widebody passenger jet, and can refuel all U.S. and allied military aircraft.
This imaging radar is a is a multimode real-time, high-resolution reconnaissance system carried on the U-2 Dragon Lady high-altitude reconnaissance jet.
EW PRODUCTS
The MDX is a man-portable sensor package that uses 3D radar combined with medium-wave infrared (MWIR) and visible-light electro-optical cameras.
RDS uses commercial flash technology to extend write endurance to more than years, and reduces disk space with data reduction and compression.
The high-reliability IP67 SMA panel mount jacks offer RF performance to 7 GHz and feature a threaded coupling mechanism for added vibration resistance.
The test and measurement device has four channels, a bandwidth of 100 MHz, an easy-use touchscreen operation, and vehicle diagnostics.
