System SWaP Comparison Source: JED RWR Survey - Feb 2009
System Hardware Suitable for where Antennas are platform mounted. Display unit can be handheld (as shown) or full ESM MMI on Laptop (see later)
System Hardware (Mast Mount/Remote) Mast-Top unit contains all except display unit – suitable for mast-top & remote site operations
Example Operational Context (1) System hardware and display mounted in vehicle
Example Operational Context (2) System hardware mounted in vehicle – Display carried by foot patrol
Example Operational Context (3) System hardware mounted in UAV – Data relayed via UAV control centre. Display carried by foot patrol
Signal Conditioning - RR017 4 RF ports into two simultaneous Video/RF channels ( option for 360 degree instantaneous FOV ) Rejection of out-of-band signals Switched attenuation (for large signals) Dual DLVA Automatic (in-pulse) selection of IFM signal Automatic PDW Generation Detection & Declaration of CW signals
Threat Processing • Waveform Based Processing Algorithm • High pulse density (>1 million pulses per second) • Fast reaction time (typically < 1 second) • Ability to cue fast set on ECM capability • Insensitive to receiver/digitiser colouration • 5000 threat mode library (expandable) • 500 entry track table (expandable)
Handheld Display • PDA-based unit (incl WiFi & quad band GSM) • No operator intervention • Audio and visual alarm • Display centred around sensor location • Up to 30 threats displayed (expandable) • Also displays own lat/long (via internal GPS) • MIL STD 2525 Symbology (can host User Defined set) • Application portable to other host processors
Full ESM MMI • For use by EW Analysts • Full Tactical Displays • Map/Imagery • Polar • Graphical • 500 entry Track Table with parametric details • Supports display of platform/weapon data • MIL STD 2525 Symbology (can host User Defined set) • Application can be hosted on existing user IT systems
Operational Support • Library Generation tool can be integrated with national source databases • Library entries can also be generated locally from own sensor PDW collection or from PDW data collected by other sensors • Note:1 x system may also be required at Op Support unit for Library validation
