Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC), has introduced the ADEP 5000 Intelligent EW Engagement System, the latest evolution in the ADEP MicroEW family. This advanced system is designed to enhance electronic warfare (EW) capabilities, offering robust solutions for airborne threat simulation, comprehensive EW engagements, and sophisticated range operations.
Revolutionizing Radar EW Response
The ADEP 5000 represents a significant leap in EW technology, positioning itself as the most capable off-the-shelf 5th Generation and beyond operational EW solution. This hardened, single-module system is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing airborne platforms, including drones and UAVs. The ADEP 5000 can be configured with multiple synchronous channels, enabling broad-spectrum and simultaneous engagements.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Versatility
The new ADEP 5000 system includes advanced RF/microwave transceivers and a powerful Versal AI/ML engine, ensuring adaptability to diverse operational needs. The system offers full-spectrum instantaneous coverage from DC to 40 GHz, with Direct RF conversion modules expected to be available by 2025. Its adjustable instantaneous bandwidths (IBW) enhance the system’s ability to detect, classify, identify, and engage threats. With advanced TRL-9 algorithms and up to 16 independent target DRFM kernels, the ADEP 5000 is capable of generating high-resolution, kinematically correct false targets and a broad range of modern non-coherent EW techniques.
Field-Ready Mission Programming
Supporting the ADEP 5000 is the Mission Programming Station, which facilitates on-the-field scenario development and Mission Data File (MDF) programming. The station includes a GUI, API, and mission planning software, enabling the development and uploading of MDFs both pre-mission and during operations.
Multiple Engagement Capabilities
The ADEP 5000 system excels in tracking multiple radar pulses and deploying advanced countermeasure techniques for enhanced platform and force protection. It supports up to 16 independent processing kernels, each capable of handling 256 false targets, making it ideal for multi-mission operations. The system fluidly integrates Electronic Support (ES), Electronic Attack (EA), and Electronic Protection (EP) capabilities, allowing for simultaneous engagements of multiple radars and the creation of complex RF scenes.
