RT Logic is the Right Company If You’re a Downed Airman

RT Logic must be doing something right. The company was awarded a contract by Boeing Company’s Command, Control and Communications (C3) Networks Division in support of the Combat Survivor/Evader Locator (CSEL) Modulator/Receiver Processor (CMRP) project. Boeing C3 Networks of Huntington Beach, California, is the prime contractor working the CSEL effort for the U.S. Air Force. Under the CSEL CMRP effort, RT Logic will deliver their Telemetrix 400XR (T400XR) Modulator/Receiver system as part of the CSEL Terrestrial Training System (CTTS). This is a critical system indeed as Boeing’s CSEL system enables rescue forces to communicate with downed airmen anywhere in the world via over-the-horizon communications satellites. RT Logic received the order from Boeing in November of 2007 and plans to have five T400XR-based CMRPs ready by the summer of 2008.

Each CMRP will have one modulator/demodulator stream per unit and operate within the UHF band for RF signal input and output. The T400XR is RT Logic’s narrowband receiver and modulator product, and employs digital receiver and modulator technology to meet multi-mission narrowband requirements. The T400XR has a configurable software-defined receiver/modulator, and supports most of the popular demodulation and modulations such as BPSK, QPSK, SQPSK, UQPSK, SOQPSK, and SQPN (spread spectrum) signals. Data rates ranging to 50 Mbps are supported under certain demodulation schemes. Demodulation processing is supplemented by bit synchronization, a variety of forward error correction (FEC) methods, and PCM code conversion. The modulation capability of the T400XR enables PCM simulation, command processing, Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT), or ranging as required. The T400XR can be configured to operate at an intermediate frequency (70 MHz), or have modular frequency converters integrated into the T400XR’s Compact PCI (cPCI) enclosure, thus allowing operation on UHF, L, S, X, C, and Ku bandsColorado Springs, Colorado
