HUGIN 4000 Strategic COMINT Receiver

Engineers and project leaders responsible for installing and deploying communications intelligence (COMINT) sensor sites typically need to use multiple narrowband radios for capturing all signals in the surroundings. However, it’s complex to install and maintain multiple radios, especially at remote sensor sites. Using many radios creates a significant volume of data that must be streamed and managed. As more radios are deployed to cover additional frequency bands, costs escalate. Together with NI Partner Novator Solutions, we offer a solution that meets the following requirements:

 

  • Maximize the likelihood of capturing critical electromagnetic signals

  • Minimize extraneous data processing and storage

  • Reduce the need for scanning and replace traditional narrowband receivers

Solution Overview

  • PXIe-5763 FlexRIO Digitizers act as IF transceivers with FPGA-based, inline signal processing for channelization.
  • PXIe-6592 High-Speed Serial Instruments perform analog demodulation and data packaging, to allow streaming of analog demodulated and digital I/Q data as UDP packets.
  • PXI chassis provides synchronization, timing, and peer-to-peer data streaming between FPGA-based instruments.
