Complete Systems

Roke offers a complete system design and installation service to fulfil your requirements within the SIGINT and strategic monitoring arena.

This can include requirements capture, site survey, installation, as well as training and support. Where existing antenna arrays are still functional we can provide LOCATE products to upgrade the signal processing to bring the whole system up to date.

Requirements Capture and Site Survey

Roke's experienced HF design engineers can assist in establishing your system design requirements and analyse them for coherency, consistency and completeness. Drawing on extensive experience within the fields of HF, signal monitoring and intercept, direction finding, and geolocation, a cost-effective LOCATE system can be designed to achieve your objectives.

In conjunction with the system design, the site location should be considered as performance is dependent on the array layout and its surroundings. Site surveys are offered to evaluate and advise on the best antenna configuration, as well as the design and positioning of the support infrastructure.

Manufacture and Installation

In addition to delivering the LOCATE products, we can procure the necessary off-the-shelf equipment and integrate them into a complete system. System testing, both verification and validation, is accomplished prior to delivery to the customer site. After installation is complete, further acceptance testing is typically provided to ensure customer satisfaction.

Training and Support

LOCATE training courses can be tailored to meet individual needs in terms of the depth of detail covered, number of attendees, duration, and location. A typical course would address:

• Basic principles of intercept, SRDF and ADBF
• Understanding the system architecture
• Operation of the receiving and ancillary equipment
• Usage of the monitoring, Direction Finding (DF) and beamforming software
• Maintenance and fault-finding

Roke can also provide long term maintenance support for all LOCATE systems.
