Rohde & Schwarz will present dedicated support for COMINT and Communications Electronic Support Measures (CESM) as well as for spectrum monitoring tasks.
This includes the R&S UMS400 lightweight universal monitoring system, new direction finding and monitoring antennas, and the very intuitive R&S CEPTOR radio monitoring software.
Developed for spectrum monitoring and radiolocation from 8kHz to 8GHz (extendable to 20GHz), the R&S UMS400 features a compact outdoor enclosure with excellent size, weight and power (SWaP) characteristics. Its superior spectral performance brings great value to advanced COMINT platform systems. The system is critical for obtaining actionable intelligence for situational awareness and contributes to larger multi-sensor intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions and force protection during tactical operations.
The new R&S ADD557SR and R&S ADD597 monitoring and direction finding antenna systems provide reliable measurement results even in dense spectrum environments. They are typically installed on mobile platforms together with a multi-channel direction finder (R&S ADD557SR) or a single-channel direction finder (R&S ADD597) to detect and locate tactical low probability of intercept (LPI) communications as well as critical conventional communications, such as private Mobile Radio (PMR).
The R&S CEPTOR software controls the radio surveillance systems of public safety and security agencies and the armed forces for situational awareness in a constantly changing communications environment. An intuitive and clearly structured interface guides users through typical workflows. Tasks can be performed quickly and efficiently, with practical default settings and automated steps to support and deliver the desired results without the user having to worry about the specific characteristics of each sensor.
Most importantly, we will demonstrate our naval capabilities in NAVICS voice communications systems for offshore platforms. NAVICS’ fully IP-based ICS interconnects distributed in-vehicle voice terminals and other subsystems for internal and external communications over a unified IP network. It features robust, highly available R&S IT technology with reliable security.
