RAS has a rich history in ELINT, starting with its founders, Mr. Bob Shields and Dr. Richard Wiley. Mr. Shields developed the KILTING database in the 1960s, and continues his involvement with the KILTING program office. Dr. Wiley authored the texts Electronic Intelligence: The Interception of Radar Signals, and Electronic Intelligence: The Analysis of Radar Signals and he brings over 30 years of experience in the analysis and collection of radar signals to RAS.

RAS today uses its combined expertise to meet the needs of government and industry customers alike. We built and continue to maintain our expertise by thorough analysis of new an challenging radar signals and modes. Our founders developed the first KILTING database by interviewing radar designers and cataloging hundreds of radar modes and operating characteristics, Systems that were still a decade away from production were cataloged in CINNAMON reports. We continue to stay abreast of modern radar developments and the impact on ELINT processing through activities such as our ALPIP activity to analyze cruise missile radar altimeter signals, and our collection and analysis of modern solid state phased array radars.

RAS has extensive experience in the development and characterization of ELINT receivers and ELINT receiver performance, especially those employing modern digital pulse parameterizers. Our experience in receiver interactions and the resulting impact on the quality of ELINT measurements has enabled us to collect against many modern threats systems. We often specify performance requirements for ELINT systems that target these modern emitters. Of course, we have extensive simulation and analysis capabilities that enable us to model both modern emitter waveforms and the digital receiver processing needed to predict parameter accuracy against given threats.

RAS leads the way in continuing developments in the ELINT world, including development of a net-centric data manager for ingesting, geolocating, and providing situational awareness to the warfighter using ELINT data gathered from non-traditional ELINT sources. We are also developing novel intelligent agents to automate heretofore manual RF collection operations, significantly improving both the quality and quantity of data collected.
