Interactive and Automated Digital Signal Processing System
|
|
IIW builds tools to provide collection, processing, analysis, and reporting of TechSIGINT data with highly accurate results. The tools allow an operator to combine inputs from multiple sources to greatly increase the accuracy of data analysis. Some of our system capabilities include:
- Data collection from multiple input sources
- Command and Control
- High rate data ingest and storage
- Interactive data visualization and analysis tools
- Collaborative systems across distributed locations
- Automated digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms
- Data reporting

Rapid Application Development Tools Suite |
|
IIW has developed an application and framework that enables rapid development of interactive processing and analysis displays. It is a pluggable architecture providing I/O, processing, control, and plot components. These components dynamically create and modify data flow, organize and configure plots, and define interactive control. The resulting application and all of its configuration and layout are saved in a simple XML file.
Our suite of tools is easily extensible. Developers create and contribute their own plug-ins. External libraries are easily wrapped into existing components. New components are equally easy to create.
These tools enable and enhance collaboration. Users can execute these applications locally or remotely. Understanding of the underlying framework is unnecessary; however, an expert user can dynamically manipulate the application and save the configuration as a new application. Two users, each with identical plug-ins can share applications by emailing the XML configuration files.

ELINT Signal Processing |
|
IIW produces software in support of all phases of ELINT collection, processing, screening, analysis, reporting, and information management. Our real-time displays support simultaneous live display of multi-channel spectral, DW, and DIF data. Our Graphical Analysis Report (GAR) format, editor, and associated storage and search tools are revolutionizing ELINT report dissemination through our Data Assessment and Screening Services. Through our support of the technical SIGINT modernization program, we are creating a new generation of SIGINT tools to support remote analysis. More detail is available on the Software Application Design and Integration page (specifically Digital Signal Processing and Distributed and Enterprise Application Development).

Technical SIGINT Tools Modernization |
|
IIW is modernizing SIGINT analysis tools to address new challenges: distributed analysis workforce, ever increasing volumes of data, collaboration, and interoperability.
These new tools are client-server applications. The client can be local or remote from its server. The signal processing and other algorithms are performed on the server, coincident with the data. The client provides the interactive control and data visualization. The tools are interoperable, sharing color, selection, filters, and time across applications.
We also developed a software development kit (SDK) that enables other developers to leverage the infrastructure to build additional tools that interoperate with the existing tools. The SDK also provides support for building applications that can operate remotely.

Data Screening |
|
IIW builds data screening tools to provide TechSIGINT analysts with a means of sorting through massive quantities of data to locate the most valuable, mission-critical information in a timely manner. Using automated data processing algorithms and interactive data visualization techniques, our data screening tools provide the ability both to assess data by characterizing, cataloging, and reviewing content, and to screen data by reducing the content to only the highest value data.

Graphical Analysis Report |
|
IIW has created a Graphical Analysis Report (GAR), which is a client/server software suite that enables the rapid creation and distribution of collaborative intelligence reports. GAR is modular and can be easily combined with a custom or existing system. GAR supports a variety of media formats and exposes a rich set of metadata for extensive search capabilities. As the needs of the SIGINT community evolve, GAR will stay on the cutting edge of information sharing.
