Digital Direction Finding (DF) System for the Next Generation Submarine Electronic Warfare (EW)

Azure's objective for this topic is to show how a variation of our small SWaP multi-channel spatial DF payload can be developed and fielded within the SWaP constraints of the mast to provide significant improvements to the existing DF capability as well as provide a roadmap for DF through the highest frequencies. This small SWaP payload will leverage existing technologies and in the case of the 500MHz tuner/digitizer, existing part numbers for cost savings and efficiency. Where new hardware must be developed, we will use a mixture of existing designs and experienced partners to ensure solid technical approaches, ensure design achievability and compress the schedule as much as possible.
