Software defined radio prototype development

Sightline Innovation正在开发一种灵活的C4ISR（指挥、控制、通信、计算机、情报、监视、侦察）平台，该平台围绕特定于使命的可配置性的核心能力而构建。第一个目标应用是“搜索和救援”行动，所涵盖的初始用例是在发生大型水域上空的严重航空事故时，使用雷达图像协助定位失踪飞机。在使用RADARSAT 2航天器的雷达图像作为C4ISR应用程序的输入时，这一概念引起了CF（加拿大部队）的极大兴趣。然而，CF搜索和救援官员指出，数据的及时性是最大限度地发挥其价值的关键。因此，Sightline Innovation计划探索开发机载传感器的可行性，该传感器可以使用机载系统为机组人员提供实时信息，并提供比其他机载和天基雷达系统更有效的搜索和救援数据输出。

Sightline Innovation is developing a flexible C4ISR (command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) platform built around the core capability of mission specific configurability. The first target application is "Search and Rescue" operations and the initial use case being covered is using radar imagery to assist in locating a missing aircraft in the event of a serious aviation incident over a large body of water. This concept has received dramatic interests from CF (Canadian Forces) in the context of using radar imagery from the RADARSAT2 spacecraft as input to the C4ISR application. However, CF Search and Rescue officials have noted that the timeliness of the data is key to maximizing its value. As such Sightline Innovation plans to explore the feasibility of developing an airborne sensor that can provide real-time information for flight crews using an on-board system and offer more effective Search and Rescue data output than available with other airborne and space-based radar systems.
