The AOC International Symposium & Convention will take place in National Harbor, Maryland, from December 9 to 11. For four days, experts from the fields of electronic warfare, electromagnetic spectrum operations, cyber-electromagnetic activities, and information operations will gather. At this high-profile symposium, Aaronia AG will present its latest AARTOS DF and AARTOS DDS solutions and systems for efficient spectrum monitoring and signal analysis as well as drone detection and defense.
At its 140-square-meter booth 937 in the Prince George’s Exhibition Hall, the global market leader from Germany will demonstrate how flexibly and efficiently the various systems can be used for real-time direction finding, signal classification and geolocation, EW, and drone detection.
Scalable USB-based real-time spectrum analyzers are indispensable for situational awareness in both civil and military applications. In aviation, emergency management, transportation, logistics, and critical infrastructure protection, they provide important information for mission control. In addition to their use in research, development, and industry, federal agencies and the military also value these intelligent signal detection and location systems for their extremely high precision, reliability, and very long range.
Mobile sniffer with 490 MHz RTBW
The SPECTRAN V6 MOBILE, the world’s first portable real-time spectrum analyzer with an RTBW of 490 MHz, enables fast and reliable measurements even in the new frequency ranges used for Wi-Fi 6 and 7. Even the 320 MHz wide channels of the new IEEE 802.11ax standard can be fully captured. With a frequency range from 9 kHz to 140 GHz and a sweep speed of 3 THz/s, the Aaronia spectrum analyzers used are equipped for all tasks. The 15″ display with a brightness of up to 1,500 NIT is easy to read even in daylight and ensures the best image reproduction for outdoor use. In the AARTOS MOBILE DF version, the system is ideal for use as a mobile direction finding system.
World’s fastest analysis system
With the SPECTRAN V6 Command Center, Aaronia AG presents what is currently the world’s fastest real-time spectrum analysis solution. The system enables extremely fast broadband frequency monitoring with simultaneous detailed analysis, including data recording. Thanks to the smart buffering solution, in which the oldest data is overwritten with new information, virtually “unlimited” recording time is available. Demodulation and decoding, as well as subsequent classification of many signal types in real time, is also possible without any problems. This makes the SPECTRAN V6 Command Center the basis for many solutions in the field of frequency regulation, signal location, or drone detection.
The Aartos X9 drone detection system is universally applicable. It can detect any signal and identify it as a drone. By combining the results from multiple sensor locations, altitude and/or distance information can also be provided, allowing the object to be automatically triangulated in 3D. This allows the entire flight route to be recorded and, for example, an additional integrated camera system to be focused in order to visually verify the object and, if necessary, the existing payload. Appropriate countermeasures can also be offered in accordance with applicable law.
Reliable direction finding
The various systems are supported by a first-class antenna program. Among other things, the AOC will showcase the brand-new AoA real-time direction finding solutions up to 18GHz or, shortly, up to 40GHz, based on the improved and further developed IsoLOG DF direction finding and tracking antennas.
Thanks to its extremely high bearing accuracy of up to 1° when used with the SPECTRAN real-time spectrum analyzer, the IsoLOG 3D DF series is the ideal solution for frequency monitoring or drone detection systems. The 360-degree coverage is achieved without mechanically rotating components within the antennas, which minimizes wear and failure. At the same time, switching speeds of up to 8 μs ensure reliable detection of even extremely short signals. By combining several systems, larger security-critical areas such as airports can be additionally secured. In addition to vehicle integration of such systems, Aaronia AG also offers solutions for spectrum monitoring of entire regions, as required by frequency regulatory authorities, for example. By integrating the additional PoA and TDoA direction-finding algorithms, signals in the lower frequency range can also be reliably detected, classified, and located.
