This is Saab

Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions from military defence to civil security. Saab has around 13,000 employees. Annual sales amount to around SEK 24 billion, of which research and development account for about 20 per cent of sales.

Business area Electronic Defence Systems’ operations are based on Saab’s close interaction with customers requiring efficient solutions for surveillance and for threat detection, location and pro-tection. This has created a unique competence in the area of radar and electronic warfare, and a product portfolio covering airborne, land based and naval radar, electronic support measures and self-protection systems.

SAAB AS A SIGINT PROVIDER

COMPLETE SOLUTION

Accurate information is crucial for decisions and actions taken by a nation’s leadership. This requires a comprehensive intelligence capability. Saab SIRIUS Airborne SIGINT system provides the means to keep pace with signal collection for strategic intelligence as well as real time situation awareness for tactical purposes.

The Saab SIRIUS Airborne SIGINT system is a complete solution including airborne and ground segments. The airborne segment contains advanced COMINT and ELINT sensors which performs signal collection, while the ground segment includes mission planning and post-mission analysis.

ROLE BASED MISSIONS

The airborne segment makes use of flexible operator workstations which allows the operator roles to be adapted to mission objectives. For instance this allows a mission where COMINT is of high importance to increase number of COMINT operators on duty.

MANUAL OPERATIONS

The operator allocates sensor resources based on their roles. The operator tasks will be co-ordinated by the mission commander using a tasking and reporting system and the tasks are monitored as the mission progresses. The operator can perform real-time control of the sensors and decide how the data in the sensors shall be captured, processed, recorded, and reported.

AUTOMATIC OPERATIONS

The SIGINT system can operate automati-cally from directives set up during the mission planning. This allows the operators to focus on mission objectives supported by:

• Frequency search strategies.

• Automatic measurement of direction of arrival and location fixing for radio trans- missions including frequency spread spectrum signals.

• Wideband and narrowband signal acquisition with sophisticated filtering mechanisms provides fully automatic classification and collection/recording of signals.

• Automatic recording of signals of inter-est triggered by pre-set criteria.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

During the mission the SIGINT system compiles a consolidated situational aware-ness picture, where the location of emitters and identified platforms are presented on a digital map together with the relationships between them. The situation awareness picture is used by the mission commander to control any mission updates and is also transferred to the ground segment for analy-sis and dissemination.

COMINT SUB-SYSTEM

The COMINT sub-system utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and includes:

• Ultra-fast wideband scanning digital tuners for handling of burst commu-nication signals and frequency spread spectrum signals.

• Monitor/Intercept tuners consists of mul-tiple wide and narrowband channels.

• Software Defined Intelligence Architec-ture (SDIA) with configurable demodula-tors and data decoders.

ELINT SUB-SYSTEM

The ELINT sub-system uses state-of-the-art equipment and includes:

• Steerable high gain ELINT antenna which provides high sensitivity for intercept of side-lobe emissions and low probability of intercept (LPI) radars.

• Channelized digital receiver with wide instantaneous bandwidth for high preci-sion measurements.

• Automatic identification of emissions using libraries.

• Detailed signal parameter extraction capability.

LIBRARY GENERATION

The SIGINT system includes analysis tools and emitter library generation tools for creat-ing and maintaining libraries that are used by the system. Library data can be imported and exported to national SIGINT databases using well defined interfaces. Emitter libraries can be updated on-line during mission.
