EXTENDING EXISTING TECHNOLOGY TO A NEW PLATFORM A leading defense Prime contractor approached Mercur y to help them modernize an aging system designed to test and train operators in ground- based environments. The system needed to support multiple independent channels, DRFM technology, and government-approved electronic attack techniques to test and train using multiple signals of interest, while simplifying setup and deployment and avoiding downtime. Mercur y engineers adapted an existing, proven, and mature airborne threat emulator, enhancing it to model ground-based threats. The result was an out-of-the-box jammer training system, which can easily be transported and set up within one hour. The system provided ever ything needed to effectively train radar operators against the advanced electronic attacks of today and, given the software-defined design, will be able to defend against the evolving attacks of the future. RAPID RESULTS DELIVERED WITHOUT INTERRUPTING CRITICAL TRAINING In fewer than four months, the defense contractor received Mercur y 's now commercially available JTS0100, a rugged yet portable training system with multi-band DRFM and EA jamming capabilities, and was able to implement the system without disrupting ongoing training operations. Radar and communications operators are able to run, modify, view, and analyze real-time spectrum training scenarios and analyze effectiveness reports automatically generated by the system. This ultimately allows users to operate quickly and confidently in the field with mature technology backed by years of expertise and designed to defend against electronic threats as they continue to evolve. Proven, reliable technology from Mercury rapidly adapted, surpassing development time expectations. FEATURES ▪ PORTABILIT Y Sized to meet commercial shipping limitations External storage for unclassified transport ▪ PERFORMANCE Up to four independent channels to use across low- (2–6 GHz) and mid- (7–11 GHz) frequency band ▪ POWER INTERFACE Commercial power of 110 VAC 60 Hz at no more than 3 KW The Mercury Systems logo is a registered trademark of Mercury Systems, Inc.
