Realize the full potential of your equipment
SCEPTRE is a deployable, remotable ISR collection software suite that can act alone or as a network of receivers to perform rapid signal ID, tip and cue, c-uas, and geolocation. It can be integrated with multiple receivers simultaneously on stationary or mobile collection platforms, and it provides real-time analysis of COMINT, FISINT, and ELINT signals. SCEPTRE performs real-time bit breakout, data streaming out, antenna position control, and pulse descriptor word creation. The versatile nature of SCEPTRE allows the user to leave it unattended for days with its built-in, circular pre-d buffer, an ideal solution for remote access, RF surveys, or post-event analysis.
- SCEPTRE allows the user to choose the right equipment for the job while maintaining the same user interface and processing capability.
- For integrated solutions, SCEPTRE can command and interface to six different digitizer cards and can take in generic VITA-49 or SDDS streams.
SCEPTRE. Built for interoperability.
- Paired with an external RF Front-End, SCEPTRE is compatible with over four dozen receivers from a dozen manufacturers.
- SCEPTRE can pipe demodulated or raw data streams out as VITA-49 or SDDS into existing
purpose-built software applications, extending the life of previous customer investments and purchases.
Features of SCEPTRE software
Event-driven antenna control
SCEPTRE interfaces directly with multiple antenna positioners and overlays antenna information directly into its map display. Antenna position can be driven by 'point-and-click', TLE, KLM, received power, or demodulated received data.
Utility in all forms of SIGINT
Regardless of the target, SCEPTRE provides the tools necessary to quickly identify and exploit known, new, and unusual signals of interest. Exploitation methods and techniques for specific signal types and IDs can be rapidly saved and recalled for future use or distributed to other instances of SCEPTRE.
Low Probability of Intercept Detection
Built-in auto-correlation function and real-time match filtering provide detection of signals below the noise floor.
pre-D and PDW FIFO Buffer
Never miss a signal again with up to days worth of pre-D and PDW data stored in a circular FIFO buffer. Go back in time, extract, demodulate, and save data to file.
DAC Transmit Capability at IF and RF
Play back recorded files at RF/IF or use built-in arbitrary waveform generator to transmit simulated noise, RADAR, or analog/digital modulated waveforms.
