EID to unveil new vehicle communication system at DSEI
The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
Horizon Technologies has been issued a US patent for its Xtender SIGINT technology.
This is the second registered patent to be awarded to the UK-based company.
Xtender allows small UAVs and CubeSats to remotely detect, geolocate, and intercept satellite phone communications, from a miniature software-defined radio.
‘Our Amber CubeSat [to be launched in 2021] will not only have the ability to geolocate L-band emitters like sat phones, but [it will also] actually allow for the real-time demodulation of the signals,’ said Horizon Technologies CEO John Beckner.
He added: ‘This capability is unique in the emerging field of LEO (Low Earth Orbit) CubeSat-driven SIGINT.’
Horizon is also the OEM for the FlyingFish range of modular ISR and SIGINT payloads, which are in use on aircraft operated by NATO member states.
