Rohde & Schwarz’s new military COMINT/CESM unveiled

Rohde & Schwarz’s new sensor, software and two new antennas that combine to form COMINT/CESM or military spectrum monitoring solutions have been unveiled at Eurosatory 2022.

R&S UMS400 is developed for spectrum monitoring and radio location from 8 kHz to 8 GHz (extendable up to 20 GHz) and features a compact outdoor housing with considered size, weight and power (SWaP) characteristics. Its spectrum performance brings value to advanced COMINT platform systems.

The system is designed to be an essential tool to obtaining actionable intelligence for situational awareness while contributing to larger multi-sensor intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions as well as force protection during tactical operations.

The R&S ADD557SR and R&S ADD597 monitoring and direction-finding antenna systems are designed to deliver reliable measurement results even in dense spectrum environments. These are typically installed on mobile platforms in combination with a multichannel direction finder (R&S ADD557SR) or a single-channel direction finder (R&S ADD597) to detect and geolocate tactical low probability of intercept (LPI) communications as well as critical conventional communications, such as private mobile radios (PMR).

============

The R&S CEPTOR software controls radio monitoring systems for public safety and security authorities and armed forces for situational awareness in constantly changing communications environments. The intuitive and clearly structured interface guides users through typical workflows. Tasks are performed quickly and effectively via practical default settings.

Users don't have to worry about the specific characteristics of each sensor as automated steps provide support and deliver results.

Rohde & Schwarz’s technology portfolio aims to provide dedicated support for communications intelligence (COMINT), communications electronic support measures (CESM) and spectrum monitoring missions.
