“The launch of the FASST 6000 represents a pivotal shift for Silvus as we bring our expertise in tactical communications to the vital field of RF sensing,” said Mansour Rachid, vice president of research and development, Silvus Technologies. “We’re delivering exceptional scanning speed and precision in a compact, rugged form factor to empower our customers to detect and localize threats faster, setting a new pace for EW warfare and helping to ensure they maintain the information advantage on the modern battlefield.”

 

“At Silvus, we don’t just innovate; we set the pace for the tactical edge by turning theoretical research into battle-hardened solutions,” said Babak Daneshrad, founder and CEO, Silvus Technologies. “The FASST 6000 represents our commitment to always challenging the status quo and helping ensure that the warfighter maintains a decisive information advantage.”

 

The FASST 6000 supports high-speed and high-probability signal detection, recording and direction finding of RF emitters. When integrated into a StreamCaster® MANET mesh network of three or more sensors, the system enables real-time triangulation and precise geolocation of RF sources, allowing for awareness of both friendly forces and adversaries throughout battlespace. These capabilities support a wide range of missions, from localized electronic intelligence to wide-area distributed RF monitoring and detection.

 

FASST 6000 is available as a rugged handheld spectrum sensor for dismounted operators or as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) module for integration into unmanned aerial, ground or maritime surface platforms. This cutting edge technology strengthens the signal intelligence portfolios of Motorola Solutions, including CRFS.
