COMINT Monitoring System
Overview of Modern COMINT Monitoring Systems
Modern Communication Intelligence (COMINT) systems are designed to handle thousands of parallel signals, providing operators with comprehensive situational awareness that serves as a foundation for effective decision-making. By integrating cutting-edge hardware and software solutions, we offer efficient and scalable tools for capturing and monitoring a large number of communication channels across diverse operational environments.
Key Components and Capabilities
1. Multichannel Receivers
Our HUGIN series multichannel receivers provide the foundation for signal processing in modern COMINT systems, facilitating flexible operations and reliable information delivery.
HUGIN 4000 COMINT Receiver Platform
Purpose: Ideal for larger sensor site installations.
Specifications:
- Supports 2-12 RF input channels.
- Provides up to 6,144 narrowband digital downconverters (DDCs).
Capabilities:
- Designed for both networked and autonomous operation
- Enables simultaneous data delivery to multiple operators.
HUGIN 200 Multichannel Receiver
Purpose: Best suited to temporary or smaller sensor sites due to its compact design.
Specifications:
- Equipped with 4 tuners covering a total bandwidth of 320 MHz.
- Delivers up to 256 independently configurable channels.
Example Use Case:
- Tuner 1 for a directional antenna.
- Tuner 2 for lower VHF antenna.
- Tuner 3 for UHF antenna.
- Tuner 4 for manual operations.
