A test kit without the footprint.
Classical EW test rigs are trucks [literally]. They're bespoke. They need a secure facility, a cleared operator, and a day to unpack. This limits training, cutting into operator experience and readiness.
Raven deviates from the norm, offering small form factor, robust signal test capabilities, sourced from commercially available non-classified components, keeping it available to operators that need experience. It's a small-form-factor electronic warfare and SATCOM test kit that packs down to luggage, powers up in seconds, and doesn't care what antenna is sitting next to it. Runs the same waveforms, produces the same output, in a package an order of magnitude smaller than the systems it substitutes for.
In training mode it doesn't even need an antenna. Close the loop internally and teach a full team in an unclassified room, with no clearance required and nothing radiating. When it's time to go outside, hook Raven to whatever commercial or government-furnished antenna you already own and it transmits.
Built by operators, for the operators coming behind them.
Four ways Raven earns the flight case.
Generates the RF waveforms your systems are evaluated against. Tones, chirps, modulated carriers, interference profiles. The library the big rigs run, in a package that fits a go-bag.
Full SATCOM test coverage: uplink simulation, impairment injection, link characterization. The waveforms match what your customers are actually fielding.
Internal loopback. No antenna, no emissions, no clearance required. Teach a full team in an unclassified room, then walk to the range knowing the button presses cold.
No proprietary antenna lock-in. Connects to commercial and government-furnished hardware you already own. Hook it up, power on, run the test.
Wherever the test is.
Raven has three deployment modes. Pick the one the job calls for; the kit doesn't care.
On the flight line, on the range, or at the customer's site. The kit fits a hard case and the setup fits ten minutes. Uses whatever antenna infrastructure is already there.
Schoolhouses, certification events, recurring readiness. Closed-loop mode generates every signal a trainee needs to recognize without ever radiating a watt. Unclassified room, unclassified curriculum, real waveforms.
On the bench with network analyzers, signal generators, and reference antennas. Instrumented environment for waveform development, defect investigation, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
