Precise, software-defined EW technology
CACI’s Switchblade family of transceivers and mission systems delivers a range of low-SWaP, modular, open architecture, high performance RF capabilities. Switchblade includes fully integrated RF, digital, and on-board computing for manned and unmanned air, surface, and subsurface platforms.
Open architecture, high-performance RF capability
Switchblade software-defined radios (SDRs) deliver robust, adaptable coverage that enhances situational awareness, communications, and intelligence gathering. Switchblade SDRs are valuable EW and signals intelligence tools that enhance interception, analysis, and exploitation of adversary signals – ensuring accurate and timely decision making.
Switchblade
Integrated digital tuner
The Switchblade multi-channel coherent wideband digital tuner consists of the 6U or 3U VPX digital signal processing carrier board. The 6U supports up to four individual tuner daughter modules, while the 3U can support two daughter modules. Both tuners are designed to plug in to a standard one-inch pitch conduction cooled VPX chassis.
