COSTA MESA, Calif. — Anduril Industries is worked up to announce Pulsar, a first-of-its-kind household of modular, multi-mission-capable electromagnetic warfare (EW) methods that make the most of synthetic intelligence on the tactical edge to quickly determine and defeat present and future threats throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, together with small and medium-size drones.
Dominance of the electromagnetic spectrum is essential to operations on a contemporary battlefield of rapidly-evolving drone, counter-drone, and jamming applied sciences. Because the conflict in Ukraine has proven, EW ways are evolving sooner than ever — a cat and mouse recreation of sensing and dodging, disruption and adaptation, within the spectrum — with updates to EW and menace methods now occurring over shorter timelines of weeks, days, and even hours. The following technology of EW methods should allow real-time understanding of the spectrum, and supply speedy supply of efficient countermeasures towards identified and new threats, throughout domains and modalities.
That’s exactly what Pulsar does.
Pulsar integrates a software-defined radio, graphics processing unit, and extra various compute right into a compact and highly effective functionality that permits radio frequency machine studying (RFML) to quickly determine and adapt to rising threats on the edge. The system helps a spread of capabilities as a multi-mission EW answer, together with digital countermeasures, counter-unmanned methods, digital assist, digital assault, path discovering, geolocation, and different superior EW capabilities. Pulsar’s modular type issue may also be tailored and built-in onto floor autos (Pulsar-V) or plane (Pulsar-A) to assist distributed EW operations throughout a number of domains.
Pulsar is a system that’s basically distinctive and superior to all different tactical EW methods at present accessible. It gives the aptitude to intelligently and autonomously interrogate a wider vary of the electromagnetic spectrum, each for identified threats and anomalous occasions, whereas lowering the time to deploy new EW results to a matter of hours and days.
“We’ve been growing our Pulsar household of methods to assist operational deployments worldwide, together with to fight zones, since 2020,” mentioned Sam El-Akkad, Normal Supervisor of RF/EW Techniques at Anduril. “Constructed to outlive and win in highly-congested and contested electromagnetic environments, Pulsar permits warfighters to counter state and non-state actors using EW capabilities built-in with different superior technological methods working throughout the electromagnetic spectrum and our on-line world area.”
Pulsar’s open structure permits integrations into frequent and joint EW and command-and-control methods to create a unified community of EW capabilities, offering extra complete protection and coordinated results throughout distributed operations. It additionally gives a software program growth package that permits steady growth and integrations with third-party suppliers and speedy integration of best-of-breed capabilities with the intention to preserve tempo with new threats and missions.
Pulsar is an agile software-defined EW system that may swiftly adapt to altering threats and mission wants in all domains for dynamic operations of at the moment and tomorrow.
