Electronic Attack Solutions

Enemy tactics and strategies are becoming more complex with artificial intelligence and advanced computing. Managing threats and coordinating electronic attacks across the electromagnetic spectrum requires constant adaptation and innovation. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a suite of electronic attack (EA) technique generators that offer reliable, advanced, cognitive capabilities to disrupt and degrade adversary use of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our electronic attack solutions are part of a larger suite of JUPITER™ Electromagnetic Systems Operations (EMSO) Services.

Electronic Attack Technique Generators

Implemented through ATHENA™ hardware components, our electronic attack capabilities can cover wide instantaneous bandwidths to counter the most agile threats. Using the Heterogeneous Open Computing Architecture (HOCA) standard, controlling these technique generators is easy, portable and flexible enough to handle in-flight reprogramming and rapid reprogram-ability timelines. Our EA generation techniques include:

GAIA (Generated Augmented IQ Assault)
  • MOSA FPGA firmware asset
  • IQ-streaming technique generator
  • Drop-in solutions available for your FPGA
  • Advanced threat-following capabilities

LOOPER (Low-latency Open OPerational EW Responder)
  • Low-latency Open OPerational EW Responder
  • MOSA FPGA firmware asset
  • Light-weight DRFM optimized with unique counter RADAR techniques
  • Complements other DRFM resources

NIGHTJAR (Non-coherent IQ Generated Hardware Triggered JAmming Response)
  • MOSA FPGA firmware asset
  • High power “smart” noise generation
  • Low-latency cognitive threat following capabilities

NGHOST (Next-Generation Hardware Offset Synchronized Technique)
  • Hardware asset
  • Coherent technique generator
  • EXTREMELY low latency
