The SABER system is a major technological advancement – the transition from hardware to software-based electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) capability for the US Air Force and its Compass Call weapon system. The system is built on a set of software radios using an open system architecture and will provide the backbone of the EC-37B operating system.
“SABER allows flexibility in updating systems without significant physical reconfiguration,” said Pam Potter, director of Electronic Attack Solutions at BAE Systems. “It also adapts to new applications, as well as revisions to existing applications. This is the technology that will allow the US Air Force to respond quickly and actively to emerging enemy threat systems. “
SABER adheres to the Department of Defense’s standards for incorporating safeguards during product design, and uses an open architecture to allow hosting of various government-agreed applications.
Additional testing of SABER in 2021 will focus on the simultaneity of engagement capacity, dynamic resource sharing, rapid integration, and the operation of many additional applications.
SABER work is taking place at BAE Systems’ state-of-the-art facility in Hudson, New York
