SPECTRAN V6 Command Center

The SPECTRAN V6 Command Center is a high-density, all-in-one real-time spectrum analysis platform built around up to four independent software-defined radio (SDR) receivers housed in a ruggedised desktop unit with integrated dual 4K widescreen displays. It combines the raw signal-capture capability of a laboratory-grade instrument with the processing headroom needed for persistent, multi-band surveillance in operationally demanding environments.

In counter-UAS and airspace security roles, the Command Center forms the brain of the AARTOS detection chain: it ingests raw I/Q streams from distributed antenna arrays, runs AI-assisted pattern recognition, and simultaneously tracks multiple RF emitters across the full 10 MHz–8 GHz tuning range without any frequency gaps. Its 4 THz/s sweep speed means the entire 6 GHz band is revisited in under one millisecond — a critical requirement when a rogue drone's control link may occupy any of dozens of frequency hopping channels.

Procurement engineers choosing the Command Center over a conventional swept-tuned analyzer get three decisive advantages: first, a 10 ns pulse-on-interval (POI) catches the shortest burst transmissions that swept instruments miss entirely; second, up to 980 MHz of instantaneous real-time bandwidth captures wideband spread-spectrum or frequency-agile signals in a single acquisition; third, the integrated vector signal generator (480 MHz bandwidth) supports calibration and RF testing within the same chassis, reducing field kit. The 24-core processor, 128 GB RAM, and up to 24 TB SSD recording mean the unit can capture and post-process hours of full-bandwidth I/Q without offloading to external storage.

For GCC airport and defence-aviation operators the platform suits perimeter RF monitoring, spectrum audit alongside existing TCAS and SSR infrastructure, and as the signal-intelligence hub in a fixed or vehicle-mounted AARTOS C-UAS installation.
