Electronic Warfare System is a ruggedized compact 3U VPX tuner system that combines state-of-the-art multichannel receivers, Intel Xeon D multi-core DSPs, and AMD Kintex-7 FPGAs.
Many new Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems are being deployed on small platforms requiring sophisticated capabilities, such as GigaHertz (GHz) sampling rates and FPGA-based processing to handle the data rates.
The MPMC-9321 is a rugged 3U 2-slot integrated subsystem that provides high functional density in a small package.
The CHAMP-XD1/VPX3-482 3U OpenVPX Intel Xeon D DSP Processor Card features high-speed DDR4 memory, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gb Ethernet, XMC site with PCIe Gen3 in conduction and air-cooled versions.
The XF07-523 rugged AMD Kintex-7 FPGA-based XMC Module provides LVDS data I/O via the front panel and XMC P6/PMC P4.
The XMC-554C is a rugged, high-performance, reliable and power-efficient NAND flash solid state drive (SSD) XMC module.
Download datasheets on the XMC-651 is a 12-port Gigabit Ethernet switch packaged in the industry-standard XMC form factor.
Electronic Warfare System - Silver Palm Tuner
Electronic Warfare (EW) platforms face an increasingly difficult task in terms of RF channel density and signal evasiveness. Curtiss-Wright and Silver Palm Technologies have collaborated to develop an open architecture RF signal processing system to address this challenge.
The Curtiss-Wright EW multi-channel tuner system is a ruggedized compact 3U VPX system that combines state-of-the-art multichannel receivers, Intel Xeon D multi-core DSPs, and AMD Kintex-7 FPGAs. The Silver Palm SP-8344 card provides four high performance configurable tuner channels. The Intel Xeon D octal-core (12-core optional) CHAMP-XD1 DSP processor card provides the EW signal processing and system control. Signal processing in the system is augmented by the XF07-523 XMC that provides a user programmable AMD Kintex-7 FPGA with direct interconnect to the SP-8344 tuner. The EW tuner system supports CentOS 7.2 (contact the factory for other OS options).
The EW system is a rugged compact solution to today’s RF challenges. It provides multiple receiver channels and supports from 20 MHz to 6 GHz frequency coverage. The RF tuner provides the necessary bandwidth and dynamic range with low noise, processing, and for EW applications.
