Advanced Processing Electronics DRFM Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.1 Topic No.: N121-036 Topic Title: Advanced Processing Electronics DRFM Proposal No.: N121-036-0650 Firm: Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) 6800 Burleson Road Building 320 Austin, Texas 78744-2306 Contact: William Hallidy Phone: (512) 479-7732 Web Site: www.spec.com Abstract: This program will develop advanced processing methods to lead to state-of-the-art advancements in real-time threat-representative electronic attack (EA) Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) test emulators. The Advanced Processing Electronics DRFM will utilize high performance analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, and ultra-high performance FPGAs to realize significant improvements over existing DRFM technology. Dynamically reconfigurable digital filters and high bit width digital convertors are used to provide artifact suppression to meet or exceed 70 dB SFDR. Traditional DRFM techniques generation is supported by integrated Digital Frequency Discrimination (DFD) and proven PRI Tracker technology. High sample rate convertors and onboard memory are provided to support at least 64 �s of delay with 285 ps resolution. The envisioned system will support multiple target/scatterers or may be reconfigured to act as multiple independent DRFMs. This program leverages and complements SPEC's current commercialized Agile Digital Effects Processor (ADEP) product lines, provides EW system hardware-in-the-loop capabilities for simulators, range support, and air, ground and naval EW operations. The proposed Advanced Processing Electronics DRFM will provide Electronic Warfare (EW), Test & Evaluation and commercial customers with state-of-the art performance in latency, dynamic range and instantaneous bandwidth providing significant improvements in the ability to defeat cutting-edge radar systems. Benefits: Potential Dual Use in support of both DoD and Homeland Security. This project will provide enhanced self-protect jamming capability for use in airborne, land and sea based platforms and for use in simulators. This would allow the elimination of expensive and unreliable RF components and greatly enhance the electronic attack and protection of existing and future systems. Return
