Kratos develops new SpectralFox technology for mission critical applications

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions’ RT Logic subsidiary has introduced SpectralFox technology for rapid transfer of time-critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance big data.

The advanced high volume / high data rate (HV/HDR) solution has been designed to support the rapid, assured transfer of very large amounts of data through satellite for mission critical applications.

RT Logic SpectralFox product manager, Brian Connell, said the new solution addresses the transport side of the big data challenge and especially when rigorous security is needed such as raw ISR data from the field.

"SpectralFox is highly scalable for a range of physical environments, from the laboratory to the most difficult field conditions," Connell said.

Developed for intelligence community and defence uses, the solution can be used for any scenario that requires rapid, error-free transfer of exceptionally large amounts of high value data.

The technology, which passed data at more than 700Mbps in the field, features unique configuration of antennas and radio frequency (RF) devices.

Capable of dramatically reducing the time needed to transfer intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) big data files, the SpectralFox can also reduce time for associated manpower and logistics.

The HV/HDR SpectralFox can also address the ISR scenarios where one-way, error-free delivery of big data is required.
