New solutions offer high quality repeatable
results, scalability and dynamic scenario generation
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced
new electronic warfare (EW) threat simulation solutions, including
software and hardware, that generate modern EW radio frequency (RF)
environments to enable engineers to easily and efficiently test
their EW systems.
The use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) by the defense
industry, which includes radar at RF, microwave and millimeter wave
frequencies, continues to advance, exposing military personnel and
assets to potential threats. EW systems need to anticipate
adversary threats and generate countermeasures in this challenging
environment. As a result, threat simulation technologies must be
able to replicate realistic EMS environments to validate EW system
capabilities and identify potential risks.
To address a growing range of threats, Keysight is introducing
two commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products:
- Simulation View software which enables the rapid development,
integration and test of sophisticated EW systems with real-time RF
modeling and dynamic high-fidelity visualization.
- UXG Agile Vector Adapter, now available in 20 GHz, 40 GHz and
44 GHz versions, which combines fast frequency, phase and
amplitude, and time delay switching speeds with real-time pulse
descriptor word (PDW) streaming. PDW is the data used for creating
radar signals.
The combination of Keysight’s COTS products provides customers
with metrology-grade testing capabilities to deliver high quality
repeatable results, while reducing lead time and costs. Keysight’s
products, and the support of open interfaces and architecture,
offers customers EW threat simulation solutions ranging from single
bench top testing to full scale threat simulator. Scalability,
coupled with the ability to reconfigure the system to utilize RF
test assets effectively, delivers a modernized EW test and
evaluation solution.
“Keysight understands that our customers need solutions that can
maintain pace with the accelerating evolution of the EW threat
environment,” said Greg Patschke, general manager of Keysight’s
Information Warfare Group. “We will continue to partner with our
customers to create and deliver rapidly adaptable solutions that
help them advance their labs to the next level of testing.”
The open architecture of Keysight’s EW threat simulation
solutions enables customers to create scenarios with a variety of
software tools, often utilizing a customer’s existing threat
databases. Customers can also choose the software tool that best
fits their EW test needs for pre-scripted or dynamic real-time
threat generation, or both.
Keysight’s electronic warfare threat simulation solutions
deliver the following customer benefits:
- Reduced lead time and costs by utilizing COTS technology
- Decreased potential for user error with automated threat
simulator calibration
- Highly reliable interchangeable parts, which simplify repair
with no tuning/matching of components or modules
- Commercial upgrade path, and ability to remain up-to-date with
firmware and software enhancements to utilize assets as threats
continue to evolve
- 1,3,5,10-year warranty and cost-effective support and
repair
