Linkabit

L3 Linkabit’s PRD-13(V)3 manpackable Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capability incorporates sophisticated RF intercept

and Direction-Finding (DF) processing capabilities in an intuitive and functional package. The PRD-13(V)3 system

provides a low-power, lightweight, ruggedized, versatile and scalable capability to support decisive actions.

Directed and general search modes operate together to acquire Signals of Interest and provide simultaneously SA to

detect, provide AoA and characterize new potential targets. This capability delivers tactical and long-term strategic

advantages on the battlefield.

KEY BENEFITS

• Software-defined tactical collection and DF are used

for ground, airborne and maritime SIGINT operations

• IP-based – ability to support networking and remote

control of multiple units

• Three RF channel design provides for simultaneous

collection, scan, DF and monitor

• Low SWaP – the entire system can be carried and

operated by one operator

PRD-13(V)3 TACTICAL SIGINT SYSTEM

Today’s warfighter is faced with numerous

complex distributed threats which vary from day

to day. Enemy communications affect outcomes

on the battlefield in real time and have real

consequences.

The PRD-13(V)3 system can scan large segments

of bandwidth and quickly characterize the RF

environment. It provides increased Situational

Awareness (SA) and the ability to search the RF

spectrum on a continuous basis without placing

added burden on SIGINT operators.

For PRD-13(V)3 On-The-March (OTM) operations,

an additional Android-based handheld controller

provides system control via a tethered cable

connection or wireless network. The complete

OTM system fits onto a lightweight frame within a

customized rucksack.

Linkabit

FEATURES

• The MD-407A Receiver/Processor

offers the capabilities to scan 10 MHz

instantaneously to perform detection,

Direction-Finding (DF), and demodulation

of SOIs

• Operator-selectable “Coarse” or “Fine”

DF capability to vary time vs accuracy

• Exceptional copy capability with variable

bandwidth control from 500Hz to 200 kHz

in 1Hz increments

• System Configuration flexibility to

support mission objectives
