A rapid prototyping and deployment system for stationary and mobile signal collection and jamming applications Spectrum Signal Processing Inc. today announced the flexComm(TM) SDR-3002 EWRDP, an "IF to Ethernet" platform for the development and deployment of wideband Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. The system is targeted at both Electronic Support (collection) and Electronic Attack (jamming) applications in stationary or mobile deployments. This fully integrated, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software defined radio platform is designed to dramatically reduce the effort and schedule required to develop and deploy an EW system. The SDR-3002 EWRDP covers up to 480 MHz of bandwidth over six coherent intermediate frequency (IF) input and output channels, with a multitude of field programmable gate array (FPGA) and general purpose processing (GPP) capabilities. The system is suitable for deployment in many harsh environments and can operate at temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius. Engineering teams can accelerate their development efforts by building their applications on top of software examples demonstrating key functionality such as overall system application data flow, multi-channel synchronization and flash memory system booting. In addition to being able to develop on the deployment target, a smaller two-channel version, running the same software, is available for additional laboratory development and for use in smaller scale systems in more benign environments. "The SDR-3002 EWRDP builds on Spectrum's experience providing advanced software reconfigurable solutions for Electronic Warfare applications," said Mark Briggs, Spectrum's Vice President of Marketing. "Spectrum understands the need for rapid development and deployment in the Electronic Warfare space and this integrated solution will provide a quick and easy path to do so. By developing on the same platform that will go into the field and by utilizing the software examples as a basis for development, customers can devote their time to functionality differentiators." The SDR-3002 EWRDP system is based upon Spectrum's SDR-3000 software defined radio processing and analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converter boards. The package includes Spectrum's quicComm(TM) software, a hardware abstraction layer that facilitates platform programming and code portability. Multiple software data flow examples are provided to facilitate development. Technical support services and training courses are part of this comprehensive product offering.
