At Camp Shelby, Mississippi, VIAVI Solutions’ T/Rx Software Defined Transceiver System won first place in the CHALLENGE.GOV Electronic Warfare – EW Battlefield Realism Prize Challenge.
The VIAVI T/Rx system, which is certified to MIL-STD-810H and ready for shipment today, beat its rivals during the challenge and successfully simulated realistic signal environments in a compact, portable, and rugged device.
Even when seen by experienced operators and advanced sensors, the high-performance VIAVI T/Rx system effectively proved its field-proven capacity to generate realistic signal environments that are indiscernible from real signals.
The goal of the challenge, which was organized by the Palmetto Tech Bridge, NIWC Atlantic, and the U.S. Department of Defense, was to showcase and evaluate low-cost, efficient, and user-friendly components that enable realistic EMS environments that occur in a contested multi-domain battlefield.
For tactical ground and air-based maneuver systems, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Counter-UAS systems; radar systems for aviation, firefighting, and air defense; and civilian communications systems like cellular networks, radio towers, and televisions, components had to emit Blue and Red force signals.
The T/Rx system is a rugged, networked, wideband platform for electronic warfare (EW) and signal intelligence (SIGINT). The T/Rx offers multi-mission, multi-domain capability in a single deployable form factor and is designed to provide situational awareness, electromagnetic assistance, electromagnetic attack, and electromagnetic deception.
The T/Rx platform offers best-in-class RF performance to satisfy the most demanding requirements of RF signal environment replication by utilizing VIAVI’s more than a century of RF instrumentation knowledge.
The VIAVI T/Rx Provides:
- Operation across a wide frequency range from 1 MHz to 18 GHz, with up to 400 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth per channel and Terabytes of waveform storage.
- This enables deep signal recording, characterization, and replication capabilities that meet the most challenging requirements.
- Each unit contains two receivers and two transmitters, all fully independent and fully configurable.
- The T/Rx is MIL-STD-810H compliant to support the harsh conditions of field deployment.
- Its ruggedized, modular form factor makes it ideal for quick-deploy setups in fixed, mobile, and displaced environments.
Leadership Comments
“The VIAVI T/Rx system has been field proven to successfully and consistently replicate both Blue and Red signals that are indiscernible from real activity. This system gives the modern warfighter the capability needed for successful training and obfuscation missions,” said Doug Russell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Aerospace and Defense, VIAVI. “VIAVI’s expertise in RF instrumentation design and long-standing partnership with the US Department of Defense helps us to stay ahead of the competition, providing advanced high-fidelity RF solutions.”
