ELINT data-collection systems will ID signals of interest, even on the move
NewsNovember 28, 2018
AOC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM AND CONVENTION, WASHINGTON, DC. D-TA Systems, Inc. (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and Centennial, Colorado) is highlighting the MFEL-1000, a compact and portable ELINT [electronic intelligence] solution that includes built-in 6 TB (expandable to 18 TB) SSD data storage for I/Q data collection.
The data collection systems have a frequency-tuning range from 0.5 MHz to 18 GHz, run at 500 MHz IBW, feature a 12-bit ADC, and carry a programmable DDC for operating bandwidth selection from 100 MHz to 500 MHz.
MFEL-1000 standard operating mode allows spectrum scanning for signal activity (pulse or CW) detection, pulse descriptor word (PDW) extraction, and emitter track estimation to identify signals of interest (SOIs) for collection. The MFEL-1000 can also be operated in an unattended mode.
