Description

The RESOLVE EW Manpack is a 100% UK state-of-the-art field-proven Electronic Surveillance and Attack system. It benefits from having both the software and hardware developed in conjunction with Roke’s operational experts. RESOLVE is designed for the intercept, geolocation, exploitation, and denial of tactical communications in the HF to UHF frequency bands, including ‘modern waveforms’. A single RESOLVE EW Manpack can be used in isolation to provide both full-spectrum surveillance and Direction Finding (DF) capabilities. When networked with other RESOLVE systems it is then possible to position fix targets using Angle of Arrival (AOA) techniques. With fully integrated wireless network connectivity, the RESOLVE EW Manpack enables target data fusion across the deployed baseline. This provides rapid target resolution, correlation and geolocation, through the use of the dedicated Management Information System (MIS) and Geospatial Information System (GIS) applications. RESOLVE is a modular system designed for intercept, geolocation, and exploitation of tactical communications signals from 1-3,000 MHz, developed by Roke Manor Research, now Chemring Technical Solutions (TS). The system can exploit a range of signals, including Personal Mobile Radio and Cellular Communications (such as GSM). It consists of a number of nodes that can either operate as stand-alone or as a networked multi-node baseline for collaborative Position Fixing.
