RFsentry^®

Mission Application

RFsentry® is a critical aspect in various mission platforms for military, regulatory and security operations. It actively monitors and analyzes the electromagnetic spectrum to identify and locate signals of interest and supports a wide range of applications, including threat detection, signal analysis, interference mitigation and situational awareness.

The sensor suite is mission-flexible, combining antennas, receivers, interfacing hardware and customizable software for diverse applications including:

• Permanent: Real-time automated fixed monitoring.
• Mobile: Rapidly deployable RF signal hunting.
• Manpack: Ruggedized for interoperability and networking with mounted/dismounted warfighters.
• Portable: Easy assembly/disassembly; conducts spectrum surveys without infrastructure.
• Drone: Efficient aerial monitoring enhances monitoring range and frequency capabilities.

Advantages

• Comprehensive Monitoring: Enables long-term spectrum monitoring, short-term RF environment characterizations and signal playback for analysis.
• Accurate Direction Finding: Identifies signal direction of arrival (DOA) and matches signals with frequency assignment databases.
• Proactive Interference Management: Categorizes electromagnetic interference, providing real-time threshold violation notifications.
• Reliable Remote Operations: Offers remote access and 24/7 unattended operations for continuous monitoring.
• Situational Awareness: Designed to interface seamlessly with the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) platform to show situational awareness.

Features

• Intuitive user interface with spectrum plots, customizable threshold masks and accessible main menu options.
• Centralized dashboard for remote, unmanned monitoring and dynamic site reconfiguration.
• Default display includes spectrum graph, energy signals and azimuth chart with detailed signal characteristics (e.g., frequency, amplitude, bandwidth).
• Full 3D visualization software for signal reporting, autonomous monitoring and color-coded severity status updates.
• Secure login with configurable permissions for varied access levels.
• Visualization and archival storage of signal data for post-analysis playback and interference data backup.
