Integrated Wideband Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) Sensor

Today's SIGINT systems need to perform more tasks than ever before. This requires separate, often bulky, pieces of equipment connected by many cables. Employing multiple boxes does not conform to the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems vision of fielding an "Objective Force" that is lighter, more mobile, agile, and sustainable. Therefore, what is needed is a product that can perform advanced SIGINT functions all in one single unit. Field operations will be greatly enhanced by such a smaller, lighter, one-box Sensor solution. The purpose of this SBIR is to build such a next-generation SIGINT Sensor. The SIGINT Sensors that will be developed by NetworkFab will be multi frequency band, fast RF signal capture, DF, collection, and DSP analysis systems all-in-one. They will be the fastest and most sophisticated SIGINT Sensors in the industry today. Modularity and flexibility will be designed in to allow custom-built-to-order deliveries that match each customers' particular SIGINT requirements. Once deployed, the Sensors will augment the Army's existing SIGINT networks and/or be a powerful node in a network of systems. This next generation SIGINT Sensor will help to transform the U.S. Army into the FCS vision of a supremely agile, spectrum dominant force for the 21st century.
