TRAPS Recorder

Cleared for Public Release - DRS TCO under case number 12-DS-159 dated 18 October 2012.
TARGET RECORD AND PLAYBACK SYSTEM – TRAPS
The Target Record and Playback System (TRAPS) is a Radio
Frequency (RF) record and playback system that can simulate
a real world signal environment for comprehensive SIGINT
operator training or equipment testing.
TRAPS can record “over the air” RF signals and store them
for playback at either the same or different RF frequencies
and at different power levels. Using previously recorded .WAV
KEY BENEFITS
• Provides collection and playback of real world RF signals for
use in SIGINT training, system testing and operations
• Enhances training and testing efficiency by producing
repeatable SIGINT scenarios without operator intervention
• Small form factor facilitates wide variety of environments
including classroom, home station and forward deployment
• Easy to setup and operate with simple user interface
files with intelligence content, an operator can define a
mission scenario and TRAPS will transmit these files at the
prescribed RF frequencies based on either a time-based or
geographical location based order to simulate specific
Signals of Interest in a real world mission scenario.
The DRS TRAPS system enables extremely comprehensive
and highly effective SIGINT operator training and equipment
testing in a low cost, highly portable and easy to use
package.
KEY FEATURES
• System offers repeatable data sets with scripted scenarios
• Playback can be programed to GPS location and/or time
sequenced
• Playback features pause, fast forward, rewind and looping
functions
• Single TRAPS can feed RF playback data to multiple collection
systems
• Ideal tool for SIGINT training, operations, and system
validation/calibration
• Operates effectively on fixed site or ground mobile platforms
