Product Specifications
Rio SIGINT capabilities meet rigorous mission requirements for small, manned and unmanned intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. Rio intercepts, locates, monitors and records communications signals using a common set of software applications. Â
- Open architecture design supports third-party special signals applications
- Real-time audio recording and playback
- Background spectral search (2 — 6,000 MHz)
- A three-dimensional display of the area of interest is provided
- Scalable commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware
- Configurable size, weight and power (SWaP) enables SIGINT applications on small, manned and unmanned airborne platforms
- Automated, continuous background spectral search with simultaneous signal monitoring and recording
- Emitter geolocation determined from lines of bearing over time or time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) techniques
- Digital adoptive beamforming for 30dB interference mitigation on multiple inter-ferors
- Local or remote operation using transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) network data link using as little as 300 Kbps bandwidth
- Joint Interface Control Document (JICD) 4.2.1-compliant: Interoperable with Network-Centric Collaborative Targeting (NCCT) and Theater Net-Centric Geolocation (TNG) sensor fusion networks
- Thin client, web browser architecture, supporting single-operator control of multiple sensors via separate windows or browser tabs, as well as access to control of a single sensor by multiple users
- Wartime and peacekeeping tasks
- Monitoring and geolocation of target communications
- Cue imagery sensors for visual identification
- Customizable cues for other sensor types
- Rio is a TRL 9 product that has been exported to multiple countries
- Rio Nino and Rio Flex can provide a significant SIGINT capability to many SWaP-challenged small manned and unmanned platforms
- Rio Grande provides additional compute and tuner resources to support more simultaneity, more operators, more missions
- The Rio software suite can be configured and scaled as needed
- All Rio software is unclassified and developed using Research and Development funds
- Development and integration of new capabilities is continuous
- Rio has an approved software licensing and product pricing structure
