Viasat Inc. has announced the launch of its Black ICE Software Defined Radio (SDR) family of modem solutions. Read more >> https://hubs.ly/Q01_94kk0 With the increasing use of uncrewed Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations, combatant commands require a reliable, flexible, secure, low size, weight and power (SWaP) solution that provides consistent communications coverage to support their missions. The Black ICE SDR modem solutions enable the integration of commercial off-the-shelf and custom waveforms, allowing secure data transmission for mission-critical operations. “The Black ICE SDR platform provides customers with solutions that enable flexible waveform integration and allow them to securely transmit large volumes of data while meeting the SWaP requirements of these platforms.” - Matt Wissler, Chief Technology Officer at Viasat Government Systems More information: https://hubs.ly/Q01_94kk0 #BVLOS #SDR #softwaredefinedradio #unmannedsystems #communications #datatransmission #UAV

Manipulated GNSS Signal: implications for pilots We are on the precipice of a new battleground, one invisible to the naked eye yet alarmingly present in its potential to disrupt the very foundation of global transportation—spoofing attacks on aircraft navigation systems. Spoofing, often confused with jamming, poses a far more insidious risk. It is not merely about obscuring a signal, but actively taking control of an aircraft's navigation, potentially leading to catastrophic misdirection. This article outlines the differences between spoofing and jamming. It also provides pilots with an overview of the potential impact that both threats can have on their flights.  https://lnkd.in/eySUR2wh

Hi Folks, Given the increasing geopolitical instability, timely and accurate threat detection has become the number one priority for many defense organizations. In that context one more of my patents was recently granted: US11892559B2 Radar calibration system and method for moving a radar calibration target along a desired movement path. https://lnkd.in/d2JEwrn5 Advantages of using this method are numerous: calibrate anywhere, anytime - including shipborne radar underway! Depending on how many spheres are used the following additional parameters (in addition to range, azimuth and elevation) can be calibrated / tested as well: target resolution, micro-doppler (drone detection), multiple target detection to name a few. #radar, #calibration, #drone detection, #doppler, #AESA radar, #radar calibration

At last, Life comes full circle! It seems unbelievable when claimed that a drone can be foolproof against all sorts of radio jamming. However, a strange new FPV kamikaze #drone tells a different story. The innovative approach used here to overcoming radio interference was – instead of relying on radio signals, it communicates with the operator through a fiber-optic cable spooled out as it flies! This spool of fiber optic cable can be attached to a optical transceiver used for high-speed communications. Now, despite being undetectable, this drone is only effective for very limited-range reconnaissance. But the fun fact is, the above mentioned technology was used from 1940 to late 1970s for the ‘wire-guided missiles’, but was cut short due to the introduction of new & innovative solutions such as radio frequency. Who knows, perhaps the answers to many of our current technological challenges lie in revisiting old technologies, but from a different perspective! Happy Sunday! ❤️ #dronetechnology #innovation #stealth #newtechnologies #aerospace

Anduril, the defense tech startup founded by Palmer Luckey, has announced the launch of Pulsar, a groundbreaking family of modular electromagnetic warfare (EW) systems powered by artificial intelligence, poised to revolutionize battlefield dominance against evolving threats. In today’s rapidly evolving battlefield, where drone technologies and electronic warfare tactics are advancing at an unprecedented pace, maintaining supremacy in the electromagnetic spectrum is paramount. Pulsar emerges as a cutting-edge solution, offering real-time threat identification and adaptive countermeasures across the spectrum, including against small and medium-size drones. “As the war in Ukraine has shown, EW tactics are evolving faster than ever — a cat and mouse game of sensing and dodging, disruption and adaptation, in the spectrum — with updates to EW and threat systems now happening over shorter timelines of weeks, days, or even hours,” the news release says
