Spectrum VORTEX: Advanced Cross-Domain Spectrum Defense System

Spectrum VORTEX is an innovative, multi-domain warfare solution designed to overcome long-distance operational challenges in expansive environments. This versatile system addresses key needs in resilient communications, information superiority, and integrated operations by EM spectrum dominance, cyber capabilities, counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS), and satellite communication (SATCOM) access, denial, and geolocation. It ensures robust performance for dispersed teams, enhancing overall mission resilience through electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) superiority and zero-trust architectures.

Drawing from real-world insights in conflict zones and natural disasters, Spectrum VORTEX offers bandwidth efficiencies of 20-50% while operating independently of rare earth elements, reducing logistical dependencies. It aligns with strategic frameworks for EMS management, such as the Department of Defense's Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy, which emphasizes agile infrastructure and integrated capabilities. Additionally, it supports data protection policies outlined in Executive Order 14117, focusing on safeguarding sensitive information from adversarial access.

Key Features

• Multi Orbit SATCOM antenna System

• Jamming and Intelligence: Provides line-of-sight (LOS) jamming for space and air communications, access to transponder I/Q data for signals intelligence (SIGINT), and support for offensive cyber operations.

• Space Domain Awareness: Includes high density RF tracking, using networked passive RF for distributed indications and warnings (I&W) across geostationary orbits.

• C-UAS Integration: Features the Dedrone Defender for UAS group 1-3 detection and neutralization, an AI-powered smart jammer that autonomously targets drones, even out of sight, with broad-spectrum capabilities.

• Hybrid Power and Endurance: Electrical systems ensure sustained operations in remote settings.

• Computing Infrastructure: Utilizes IBM Hyperdense Ai/ML cabinets with OpenShift for portable, high-performance computing in demanding environments.

System Variants

Spectrum VORTEX is available in four configurable variants, each optimized for specific deployment needs through advanced RF and aerospace engineering:

• Trailer 1: Features the Intellian X130D for multi-orbit connectivity, a 1.25m dual-band (Ku/Ka) VSAT with electronic switching between bands and seamless operation across constellations.

• Trailer 2: Incorporates the Intellian ARC-M4 for cyber and infrastructure tasks, a 1.3m tri-band (X/Ka) system supporting simultaneous wideband services and certified for high-duty applications.

• Mobile Variant: Mounted on DAGOR or ISV platforms for tactical mobility. The DAGOR offers 4,000 lb payload capacity in an ultra-light design (178 in length, 74 in width), air-transportable for rapid deployment. The ISV, a 9-passenger high-speed vehicle, enhances expeditionary transport with low-velocity air-drop compatibility.

With 90% COTS components and 85% pre-tested software, Spectrum VORTEX projects significant cost efficiencies, potentially saving billions through optimized multi-domain operations. This system leverages data-driven algorithms for compression and threat analysis, robust software protocols for secure transport, and integrated engineering for reliable performance in contested environments.
