FPGA + SDR
FPGA+SDR Hardware combines high processing power, FPGA acceleration capability, and wideband RF data processing infrastructure in a compact architecture.
The platform offers a flexible and mission-oriented solution for radar warning receivers, electronic support systems (ESM), electronic intelligence (ELINT), communications intelligence (COMINT), DRFM-based deception systems, and jammer applications.
While the dual phase-coherent receiver structure provides advantages in coherent processing and direction-finding applications, the wideband receiver mode enables effective use in electronic warfare and intelligence missions requiring high instantaneous bandwidth. With its compact dimensions, ~200 g weight, and maximum 25 W power consumption, it is suitable for platforms where size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints are critical.

Application areas
Operational advantages & Application Areas
The flexible RF architecture enables easy adaptation of the platform to different mission scenarios. The dual 220 MHz phase-coherent receiver structure provides strong infrastructure for phase-comparison direction finding, interferometry, and coherent processing applications.
The single 450 MHz wideband receiver mode enables rapid monitoring of wide spectrum in ESM, ELINT, and COMINT missions; capturing and analyzing short-duration RF emissions becomes easier.
The 2 × 450 MHz transmit capability makes the platform suitable for electronic attack, jamming, DRFM-based deception, and SDR communications applications.
