SPEC EW Group Unveils Next Generation Multifunction EW Products

Austin, Texas, Oct. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPEC (Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation) EW Group is pleased to announce the availability of its latest ADEP^TM EW operational products, hardware-in-the-loop EW simulators, EW system development environment and test equipment, and EW test range and training products. SPEC's newest ADEP^TM EW tactical products include compact, low power, ruggedized, conduction-cooled, airborne T4000 systems and M3000 series single card products, available in multiple form factors with programmable interfaces to match all legacy, modern and evolving bus standards.

These newest ADEP^TM products are extremely versatile EW products and system building blocks. Every ADEP^TM EW product possesses the world's most advanced, multi-faceted Digital RF Memory (DRFM) jammer and false targets generator. Configurable across a frequency range from 30 MHz to 18GHz and beyond, each ADEP^TM product is composed of multiple embedded DRFM kernels, designed to engage simultaneous threats and to generate up to 128 simultaneous targets, which can be overlapping across the spectrum without loss of integrity.

All ADEP^TM products contain ultra-high resolution, broadband spectrum digitizers for use in ES, SIGINT and direction finding operations, and spectrum management applications.  ADEP^TM  enabled systems can be configured to operate in either ES/Spectrum Management mode or EA mode (or can be configured to operate cooperatively, switching between modes) to respond to multifunction EW missions, while blanking (protecting) the frequencies of friendly communications and radars. With these intrinsic architectural attributes, ADEP^TM simulator products can be configured to generate complex RF scenes and thousands of simultaneous targets/scatterers.  ADEP^TM EW products are the critical, configurable building blocks for the next generation of naval, air and ground EW operational systems, complex simulators, test ranges and system development environments.

Randy Noster, SPEC President and CEO said, "Our EW Group's newest ADEP^TM products are designed specifically to meet the needs of our EW and ISR customers.  ADEP^TM enabled systems are the next generation in EW capabilities and are uniquely threat responsive and cost effective. We are pleased to offer these products as a holistic response to the needs of the EW community, across the board - responding to the needs of operational forces, system developers, and test and training organizations, alike."

Gary Zreet, SPEC VP, EW Group, stated, "We're particularly excited about the board market applications  for our  ADEP^TM EW products. The ADEP^TM architecture is structured with modular hardware and software IP blocks, which support ease of integration, simplicity of response to evolving threats, and much lower life cycle costs. Because ADEP^TM products have been designed for modularity and ease in adaptability, we are able to offer our customers a very cost effective solution to custom EW applications."

SPEC EW Group is based in Austin, Texas.  SPEC EW Group products include a portfolio of cutting edge, commercialized electronic warfare ("EW") products, based upon its "ADEP^TM technology", essential to rapidly evolving mission requirements for transparently integrated EW, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ("ISR"), and spectrum management solutions. Among its capabilities to address these markets, SPEC EW Group offers the world's most advanced, operationally proven integrated EW, SIGINT and spectrum management solutions, tactical Digital Radio Frequency Memory ("DRFM") products, EW environment and radar simulators, and complex radio frequency ("RF") scene generators.
