Telemus, Inc. has installed a Pentek Talon RTX Rugged IF Recorder for operational use onboard an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) as part of their ALR-510 ELINT/ESM system.

They chose this recorder not only for its wide instantaneous bandwidth and environmental performance, but also for its rugged, compact design.The end user, a military organization within a NATO country, needed both Electronics Intelligence (ELINT) and Electronic Support Measures (ESM) facilities for radar surveillance in its border regions and selected the ALR-510 ELINT/ESM System from Telemus.

This system harnesses Linear Phase Interferometer Direction Finding (DF) technology and an ESM system based on an Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) receiver and omni-directional antenna.The ELINT system incorporates the Pentek Talon RTX series IF Recorder for digitizing and capturing wideband IF analog signals and retrieving them for analysis.
