My-konsult Astor III TEMPO Pod Test-bench Gallery Contact us Links Click on images to enlarge HMI EWO cockpit L-39E Mode Editor Ground Astor Astor III; ECM-, TES- and ESM system ASTOR III meets different EW Training-, Support- and Threat levels by being adjustable and responsive and fits situations from, basic to advanced EW Training to Tactical Support scenarios. Astor III is in service on L-39E, Learjet-35, MU-2 and in ground-/surface based installations. System architecture: The Astor system generates coordinated coherent- and non-coherent jamming techniques. The system has several parallel channels using different characteristics. Operating System is Linux. Capabilities and Features: • Basic to advanced jamming, of single/multiple radars. • Mode editor and parameter setting with graphical visualization. • DSOR/DRFM and PRI Predictor subsystems • Frequency blanking • Threat Emitter Simulation • Logging with GPS-time and GPS-Map • ESM in each band during jamming and TES. Characteristics: Frequency coverage: C- J in sub-bands (optional K-band) • Rx Sensitivity: – 65 dBm to - 70 dBm • Instantaneous max. Bandwidths, SOR/DRFM: 2+ GHz. • Dual DSOR/DRFM per band: 10 Bits FPGA based, PW 64-250 µs, Pipeline-, Stored Delay-, By-pass-, Head to tail repeat- and CW modes, main lobe prediction, Fq. blanking, Inverse gain and Look-over or Look-through functions. • Jamming modes: Coherent- and Non-coherent Masking-, Deception- and Saturation techniques. Mode-shifting in time, Combined- and Synchronized modes and TES. • Pulse-, Phase- and Amplitude Modulation Adaptive Predictor The PRI Predictor and Tracker provides improved performance. • Records- and stores PRI during jamming • Identifying e.g. fix, stagger and jitter PRI signals and adapts the behavior to the input signal. • PRI waterfall display and pulse analyzer display. • Data base and Library function Threat Emitter Simulation, TES: The Astor can indefinitely reproduce a sequence of arbitrary Pulse Description Words, each specifying: • Time of Arrival • Pulse Width • Pulse Frequency • Pulse Amplitude Pulse width: 0.1 to 250 µs. Intra pulse: Chirp, Phase coding Arbitrary Scan Modes is simulated with the Technique Generator by reproducing different scan patterns. Antenna selection and RWR: By continuously receiving from all the Astor Rx antennas, an Rx- indication and a touch display is provided to select the right antenna and RW direction with the same high Rx sensitivity as the Astor generators. By monopulse amplitude comparisons the antenna sector that receives the highest signal level is determined. The RWR alerts the EWO/Pilot of illuminating radar signals from two- or three- sectors in azimuth. It is by this system possible to determine in what 60º sector- and in what 60º line the signal is transmitting/passing. It is also possible to determine number of signals. CW, PRF areas, Rx signal strength etcetera that will be displayed on the pilot touch-display or EWOs waterfall displays. • Frequency range: C/D - J band • Azimuth coverage: As Astor antenna coverage note: Optional library function can be provided
