SIGNAL REAPER

RF Detection & EW Automation

RF · SIGNAL DETECTION · EMBEDDED · AUTOMATION · SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Modular RF detection and control system that automates threat detection and the selective activation of electronic countermeasures.

SIGNAL REAPER scanner and control module

THE PROBLEM

Conventional wideband jamming suppresses large portions of the spectrum continuously. That drains power, denies friendly communications and reveals the position of the emitter. Detection and response are also manual, which limits how fast a threat can be answered.

THE SYSTEM

SIGNAL REAPER combines a Scanner and a frequency generator control module. The Scanner monitors RF activity across the operating band; the control module activates countermeasures only on the frequencies where activity is detected, rather than across the full spectrum. Detection and response run without operator intervention.

WHAT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN CONFIRMED.

Validated through bench, integration, field and operational use, including evaluation under combat conditions. Detection thresholds and activation logic were tuned against real spectrum conditions rather than laboratory signals.
