Defence and intelligence agencies need capability to monitor various satellite networks which requires a versatile system for satellite carrier analysis to detect various satellite and VSAT links working over large number of geostationary satellites in C, X, Kuand in Ka Band.

Our Satellite Carrier Reconnaissance and Analysis System (SACRAS) is capable of detecting Point-to-Point satellite links, deployed for international voice networks, DCME, GSM Abis backhaul links, IP links andVSAT networks of known VSAT manufacturers such as iDirect, Hughes, Gilat, Eastar Romantis, Comtech, including various types of proprietary protocols and services operating on them.

With the recent developments in Ka Band satellite transmissions which use very small spot beams, SACRAS can be effectively utilized in portable configuration to identify target locations from where Ka band transmissions are taking place.

The new Carrier-in-Carrier technology application in the satellite modems throws up a challenge for identification of such links.SACRAS is able to identify Carrier-in-Carrier signals during scan analysis of target satellites.

SACRAS has the capability for payload detection without full-fledged interception which occurs in a faster timeframe, saving time required for frequency detection leading to faster decision making and better intelligence gathering from identified links. The system can be offered as independent / stand-alone system initially or in combination with VSAT Monitoring Systemas per customer requirement.

• • Automated reconnaissance of selected spectrum to identify new carrier frequencies from target satellites using C, X, Ku & Ka Band antennas.
  • Scan and store all satellite carriers with detailed RF parameters from target satellites.
  • Automatic Identification of carrier types such as DCME, GSM Backhaul, IP Link, VSAT network, etc.
  • Identification of VSAT Hubs and terminals of iDirect NetModem, Infiniti and Evolution series of modems, Hubs of Gilat SkyStar Advantage, Dial@Way, SkyEdge, SkyEdge II and SkyEdge II-c Hubs and terminals of Hughes PES, TES and Hubs of Hughes DirecWay, HN and HX modems, Eastar Romantis (UHP DVB-and DVB-S2) and Comtech Advanced (DVB-S2) modems, etc.
  • Identification and auto correlation of VSAT Hubs and respective terminals.
  • Storage of all information gathered in integrated database for future reference to detect changes in usage of satellite transponders on target satellites.
  • Identification of new links during periodic search conducted on target satellites.
