Abaco Systems and Amergint Technologies have partnered to develop an electronic warfare (EW) communications technology for troops.Under the partnership, Abaco’s ruggedised VP430 RFSoC hardware platform was combined with Amergint’s Softlink architecture to create a lower cost, rapidly available technology.The new lab-tested capability reduces RF signal chain complexity, integration and field timing from weeks to days.The VP430 platform has been designed for advanced EW applications and enables the use of fewer boards and less power. It also delivers increased processing throughput.Using Softlink, software applications can be built from an early prototype through to full operational capability.The pre-integration of Amergint’s Softlink libraries with Abaco’s hardware platforms will reduce cost and programme risk for customers.Abaco Systems’ advanced platforms enable customers to validate and deploy new capabilities without enduring complex software development cycles.
