Threat Signal Injection Jammer (TSIJ)

Providing realistic Electronic Warfare COMs and GPS Threat Simulators

Challenge

Evaluation of emerging US weapons systems’ operation in a robust Electronic Warfare (EW) threat environment is essential for a future force that will rely on Information Superiority. The ability of weapons systems and their supporting communications/navigation systems to operate and survive in an

Electronic Attack environment is essential for success. The threat systems employed against the US military systems must be able to accurately portray threat capabilities that friendly systems are expected to encounter in real-world applications. Live testing, however, must operate within Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) frequency authorization limitations.

Solution

The Threat Signal Injection Jammer (TSIJ) program has leveraged years of previous successes and developed the latest EW injection jammer, called the TSIJ Remote Jamming Unit (RJU). It directly injects jamming into Systems Under Test (SUT), to both vehicle and dismounted-communications. The

Control Signal Transmitter – Open Air Capability (CST-OAC) is the RJU controller for multiple RJUs, plus it functions as a live threat jammer in the few U.S. test areas where open air jamming is allowed.

The program also incorporates the Advanced GPS Jammer (AGPSJ) which is a threat jammer that directly injects a GPS jamming signal into the SUT.

Result

As a result of our program efforts, emerging DOD weapon systems can effectively test against the most current and emerging plus realistic threat capabilities they are expected to confront on the battlefield today and beyond. In addition, the warfighter can train under simulated EW conditions that explore the effects of a whole range of EW attack behaviors. Exploration of various EW attack scenarios will better prepare the soldier for adverse conditions to be faced in the battlefield.

Capabilities

Remote Jamming Unit (RJU): Four channel, miniaturized, low- power, threat signal injection jammer in a metal case. Capable of injecting up to 10 software programmable threat jamming waveforms.

Currently adding a 2-channel soldier mounted injection jammer.

Advanced GPS Jammer (AGPSJ): Another RJU;

capable of jamming GPS channels; includes a

“repeater” spoofing ability for both injection and live jamming.

Control Signal Transmitter (CST): Capable of performing as a live (open air) jammer. Includes

“look-thru” capability. HMMWV mounted, with a wireless RF link. Software programmable waveforms can upgrade the entire system without hardware modifications.

Applications

The TSIJ program provides wide range of threat electronic attack capabilities.

CST-OAC device in HMMWV: 15 units

GPS-OAR device in HMMWV: 6 units

4-Channel RJU: 440 units

2-Channel Manpack RJU: 65 units
