Spectrum dominance in all domains

Measuring and monitoring the complete spectrum – military spectrum monitoring

Electromagnetic spectrum monitoring (EMS) helps armed forces optimize spectrum usage and ensure effective and secure communications. Spectrum awareness of intentional or unintentional radio emissions helps protect military assets and support rescue missions.

Rohde & Schwarz spectrum monitoring solutions monitor critical frequency bands 24/7, detecting and geolocating new electromagnetic emissions from inside or outside facilities. Rohde & Schwarz supports military spectrum monitoring systems for any purpose or environment with stationary, transportable, mobile and portable solutions. Each platform has advantages and is typically deployed for specific missions.

Information superiority – SIGINT/EW sensor and effector systems

When gathering information for decision making and establishing a strategic advantage, collecting communications and electronic signals is vital to forming a comprehensive situational picture in any mission theater.

Rohde & Schwarz designs, develops and delivers innovative SIGINT sensor solutions that collect data from wireless sources for a clear picture of the environment to enhance information superiority. Our solutions can cope with large volumes of simultaneously intercepted signals. Rohde & Schwarz has a wide range of COMINT and ELINT satellite monitoring sensors and solutions for multi-domain operations. The portfolio includes antenna systems, receivers or direction finders to detect and locate emitting targets.

Years of experience with RF reconnaissance and direction finding give Rohde & Schwarz the ability to help armed forces counter UAVs in military operations. ARDRONIS from Rohde & Schwarz is ideal for demanding applications to monitor and counter drones. Radio-controlled drones are countered by intercepting radiocommunications links and reliably detecting and capturing the direction of pilots and drones.

Connecting the battlefield: Secure communications

High precision information is useless if it cannot be shared in multi-domain operations. All branches of the armed forces need reliable and robust communications structures along the entire chain of command to derive strategic and tactical advantages from acquired information and for effective command and control.

Fully integrated, modular and secure communications solutions from Rohde & Schwarz enable ad hoc connectivity, meshed networks as well as efficient and jamming-resistant data transmissions to reliably share mission critical information. The solutions also ensure mission readiness in highly flexible operations with seamless networked interoperable communications in joint and combined missions.

Rohde & Schwarz is a major supplier to the German armed forces (Bundeswehr) and is supporting their digital modernization with the latest radio communications technology. This is a major step towards the modernization and digitalization of the Bundeswehr.

A technology leader with years of experience in military communications, Rohde & Schwarz is the German national champion for developing the European Secure Software Defined Radio (ESSOR) for European tactical military interoperability.

Full situational picture – Sensor fusion & analysis

In combat, information superiority is vital to a successful mission in multi-domain operations. To obtain an overall picture of the surrounding environment in real time, combining various data and information sources into a full situational picture is vital.

Sensor fusion generates an overall situational picture by combining and processing fragmented and sometimes contradictory sensor data in a cloud-based environment. Huge amounts of data must then be aggregated and enriched with open source information for a much more detailed situational overview. Tracking and identifying significant information demands powerful capabilities that apply intelligent filters and advanced screening models to raw data from various sources, including legacy and network communications.

Rohde & Schwarz sophisticated analytical solutions have become the tool of choice for coping with massive amounts of data that require powerful and reliable analysis for optimum decision-making and improved supervision, examination and investigation in any domain.
