Electronic Warfare Systems Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

Coherent System's Electronic Warfare Systems Division has significant experience in the arena of Electronic Warfare system design, integration, and test. But our customer relationship does not end with system delivery. We continue to provide support through in-house training programs, quarterly software upgrade releases, and on-line tutorial applications. Research into emerging technologies is constantly underway to provide effective product improvements to our customers. Our facility offers an anechoic chamber, free space radiation equipment, and an RF threat simulator creating a robust test and evaluation environment to insure that our product performance exceeds our customer expectations.

To provide a complete system solution for our customers, Coherent System's Electronic Warfare Systems Division has strategic partnerships with several world class industry leaders. In the area of manufacturing our partner Kuchera Industries / Kuchera Defense provides an ISO-9000 certified facility with enough capacity to handle our most challenging production needs. In the area of microwave tuners, frequency converts, and data recorders our partner M/A-COM Sigint brings a long history of proven Signals Intelligence products that can be integrated seamless with our electronic surveillance system architectures. For IFM Receivers and fast tuning synthesizers, our partner Wide Band Systems contributes a complete product line of militarized components to meet a broad array of Electronic Warfare applications.

Today’s growing global security missions have guided us beyond our Electronic Surveillance background. Leveraging solid systems engineering methodology, we have gained experience in a wider variety of sensors and processing. Contact us with your system requirements – for Electronic Warfare applications and beyond – so that we can work with you to develop the optimal solution.

The following case studies provide some insight into our growing corporate capabilities.  

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Processing and Imaging Utility

• Relying on our strong background in complex algorithm development, a SAR processor and imaging utility was developed to create high resolution spatial and RCS images used to identify sub-surface defects in utility poles.

Operator Interface for Underwater Intrusion Detection System

• Using our experience with Electronic Warfare controls and displays, a Windows based operator interface with digital chart displays is being developed to present sonar data for the purposes of identifying swimmers or other potential underwater threats.

Radar Test and Evaluation System

• Applying our expertise in digital design for EW applications, a test station was developed using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology to process and evaluate the output of tactical airborne radars to validate their performance.
