SPEC EW Group Unveils Next Generation Multifunction EW Products

Austin, Texas, Oct. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPEC (Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation) EW Groupis pleased to announce the availability of its latestADEP^TM EW operational products, hardware-in-the-loop EWsimulators, EW system development environment and test equipment,and EW test range and training products. SPEC's newestADEP^TM EW tactical products include compact, low power,ruggedized, conduction-cooled, airborne T4000 systems and M3000series single card products, available in multiple form factorswith programmable interfaces to match all legacy, modern andevolving bus standards.

These newest ADEP^TM products are extremely versatileEW products and system building blocks. Every ADEP^TM EWproduct possesses the world's most advanced, multi-faceted DigitalRF Memory (DRFM) jammer and false targets generator. Configurableacross a frequency range from 30 MHz to 18GHz and beyond, eachADEP^TM product is composed of multiple embedded DRFMkernels, designed to engage simultaneous threats and to generate upto 128 simultaneous targets, which can be overlapping across thespectrum without loss of integrity.

All ADEP^TM products contain ultra-high resolution,broadband spectrum digitizers for use in ES, SIGINT and directionfinding operations, and spectrum management applications. ADEP^TM  enabled systems can be configured tooperate in either ES/Spectrum Management mode or EA mode (or can beconfigured to operate cooperatively, switching between modes) torespond to multifunction EW missions, while blanking (protecting)the frequencies of friendly communications and radars. With theseintrinsic architectural attributes, ADEP^TM simulatorproducts can be configured to generate complex RF scenes andthousands of simultaneous targets/scatterers. ADEP^TM EW products are the critical, configurablebuilding blocks for the next generation of naval, air and ground EWoperational systems, complex simulators, test ranges and systemdevelopment environments.

Randy Noster, SPEC President and CEO said, "Our EW Group'snewest ADEP^TM products are designed specifically to meetthe needs of our EW and ISR customers.  ADEP^TMenabled systems are the next generation in EW capabilities and areuniquely threat responsive and cost effective. We are pleased tooffer these products as a holistic response to the needs of the EWcommunity, across the board - responding to the needs ofoperational forces, system developers, and test and trainingorganizations, alike."

Gary Zreet, SPEC VP, EW Group, stated, "We're particularlyexcited about the board market applications  for our ADEP^TM EW products. The ADEP^TMarchitecture is structured with modular hardware and software IPblocks, which support ease of integration, simplicity of responseto evolving threats, and much lower life cycle costs. BecauseADEP^TM products have been designed for modularity andease in adaptability, we are able to offer our customers a verycost effective solution to custom EW applications."

SPEC EW Group is based in Austin,Texas.  SPEC EW Group products include aportfolio of cutting edge, commercialized electronic warfare ("EW")products, based upon its "ADEP^TM technology", essentialto rapidly evolving mission requirements for transparentlyintegrated EW, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance("ISR"), and spectrum management solutions. Among its capabilitiesto address these markets, SPEC EW Group offers the world's mostadvanced, operationally proven integrated EW, SIGINT and spectrummanagement solutions, tactical Digital Radio Frequency Memory("DRFM") products, EW environment and radar simulators, and complexradio frequency ("RF") scene generators.
