Advanced Signal Processing and Coordination Applied to Electronic Support Measures

Azure Summit Technology’s approach to own-ship interference mitigation combines multiple key innovations that together produce an interference mitigation solution with a low SWaP form factor that scales to the full range of PMA-299, PMA-262 and PMA-290 platforms and missions. Our baseline design employs an innovative analog RF Hybrid Adaptive Canceller (RFHAC) cascaded with a Digital Signal Processing Canceller (DSPC) capability, along with coordination and synchronization features that maximize ESM system probability of intercept while minimizing impact to RADAR missions and other interferer functionality. With Azure’s Switchblade tuner being one of the primary ESM tuner targets on Triton, EP-3 and P-8 platforms, we have the unique ability to bring value to this solution space. Specifically, without impacting existing onboard ESM capability, we can implement digital cancellation techniques for those ESM “personalities” as well as provide real-time tuner information to the radar system and receive real-time radar information to affect coordination between the systems.
