H®-V3

eceiver and Homing System V3

OVERVIEW

HIDRAH®-V3 is the next generation handheld, tactical, cordless radio
rcept and signal Line of Bearing (LOB) / homing system. HIDRAH®-V3 may
mounted and employed unobtrusively on an individual service rifle (M16A2 or
Carbine) or may be employed independently through the use of detachable
tol-grip” type handles. When mounted on a rifle, the HIDRAH®-V3 does not
rfere with the operation of the weapon and use of the weapon does not
ersely affect the HIDRAH®-V3 system. The HIDRAH®-V3 also features a
chable antenna section and cable that may be used to effectively employ the
em in vehicles, vessels, or aircraft. The detachable antenna cable has a switch
compensates for the inverted mounting of the antenna on the underside of an
raft. HIDRAH®-V3 is ruggedized, lightweight, reliable, and easy to use. No
er single system available provides both the homing, direction finding, multiple
and range to target features in such a compact, highly portable package.

Lite Software

Overview

SignalTrap Lite is a signal search, collection
and receiver control software. The software provides
for the complete control of any combination of an
AR8200s or AR8600s and a HIDRAH®-V3. The
SignalTrap Lite system is perfect in size for foot mobile
operations and can be used to actively perform SIGINT
missions or to record mission activity for alter review.
The pictured configuration is of a Panasonic
Toughbook laptop running SignalTrap as well as
Falcon View software, as the main operator interface,
controlling the peripheral equipment. Attached to the
laptop is an AOR AR8200,and a HIDRAH V3. All the
necessary power and computer interface cabling is also
provided with the system, allowing the user to set up
out of the box and begin operations!

The Radio Reconnaissance SIGINT Suite is a
turn-key solution for low level voice intercepts and
signals collection of single channel push to talk
systems. The design of the system is such that all the
storage capabilities of the AOR receivers can be
accessed and manipulated through the laptop interface
allowing for a smooth collection and compiling cycle
than in the past, no more yellow stickies!
