HUGIN 304DF

Mobile Monitoring Receiver and Direction Finder

HUGIN 304DF is Novator Solutions’ mobile monitoring receiver and direction finder. It provides 64 channels enabling simultaneous monitoring, listening, and recording of analog clear voice push-to-talk (PTT) communication using FM, AM or SSB modulation. HUGIN 304DF provides the signals intelligence picture together with line of bearings in one view.

The EW/SIGINT system is an out-of-the-box solution for operations on the move.
HUGIN 304DF is optimized for quick deployment in any vehicle platform without preparation. It comes with temporary mountable antennas, a main processing unit which can be placed in the hatchback of any vehicle, and an intuitive command-and-control software installed on a rugged laptop.

64 Monitoring & Recording Channels
HUGIN 304DF enables operators to monitor and record up to 60 clear voice interceptions and 4 digital signals simultaneously. All digital drop receivers (DDRs) can be configured in real-time. Settings like centre frequency, bandwidth, demodulation and AGC mode are controlled individually per DDR.

Automatic Direction Finder
HUGIN 304DF automatically calculates & records line of bearings (LOBs) of all assigned channels. The LOBs are, together with the position of the collection asset, presented on a map. By moving the asset, it is possible to geolocate target emitters. The active LOBs are displayed in a polar display and on a map.

Intuitive Command-and-Control Software
Intuitive C2 Software: The intuitive command-and-control software provides operators with a 360 degree situational awareness overview making it easy to make decisions on the spot. Operators manage the spectrum and assign the digital drop receivers (DDR) via a single laptop screen. All recorded voice channels can be played back in near real-time.

Mobile Applications
The DC-powered tactical system comes in a protective case for easy transportation. It has been designed to be used in any car or other moving collection asset that allows temporary mounting of the collection, DF and GPS antennas.

EW and Signals Intelligence
The congested electromagnetic environment requires tactical EW / SIGINT systems to manage simultaneous collection of numerous channels in parallel, and to determine the position of emitters.

Border Control
Since push-to-talk radios are frequently used in illegal activities such as smuggling contraband or unauthorised border crossings, border guards and forces must maintain bands covering all common communications channels.

Search and Rescue
With HUGIN 304DF, commonly used communication channels may be monitored alongside international distress frequencies such as 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz, beacons transmitting on Cospas-Sarsat, or sonobuoys at 136 to 174 MHz.
