DATA
LINKS: Cubic provides
the Surveillance and Control Data Link - a world-class, jam
resistant broadcast data link - for the Joint Surveillance
Target Attack Radar System, or Joint
STARS. We have customized this link for the UK's new Airborne
Stand-Off Radar system, or ASTOR,
scheduled to enter service in 2005.
Our advanced
communications data link - the digital Tactical Common Data
Link (TCDL)
- transfers radar data, video and other sensor information
from UAVs to analysts at Army ground stations or Navy ships.
A variation of the TCDL has been selected for the U.S. military's
weapon system testing and training program.
SIGNAL
INTELLIGENCE/SURVEILLANCE RECEIVERS:
Cubic has developed a wide variety of equipment for the
Signal Intelligence community. This equipment is used
to detect and analyze a multitude of signals, perform
signal direction finding, distribute antenna inputs to
multiple receivers, and perform high precision wideband
signal processing and multi-mode digital signal processing.
DIRECTION
FINDING: Cubic is a leader in DF technology.
Cubic has developed field proven DF receiver/processors
designed for mobile vehicle, airborne, fixed station or
shipboard installation. A typical system comprises a Wide
Band DF Receiver/Processor and a dual array direction
finder antenna. Depending on the antenna selection, Cubic
DF Systems are capable of providing signal monitoring
and DF capabilities in a wide frequency range (with no
gaps). Antennas can be used individually or can be linked
together to provide reception for HF, VHF and UHF signals,
as required.
FREQUENCY
MANAGEMENT: Cubic has created software that
enables a user to easily interact with the DF signal management
process by using a graphical user interface. The software,
when integrated with a DF system, allows monitoring and
DF operations in all reception modes with very high sensitivity,
selectivity, and accuracy. As a result the operator is
able to easily track and locate radio sources over a wide
geographic area. Our frequency management software enables
control of all receiver functions these include; frequency,
receive mode, bandwidth, AGC/MGC, squelch, BFO, channel
memory store and recall, and scan/sweep operations including
channel/frequency lockout. Besides controlling the receiver(s),
these programs can collect signal amplitude information
during a special "Spectrum Sweep" operation
and create a real-time panoramic display of signal activity.
