TCI Launches Two New Rackmount COMINT RF Systems for Success in Modern Electronic Warfare

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025

Wappenham, UK, 2 September 2025: TCI, part of SPX Communications Technologies, today introduces two new Radio Frequency (RF) Receivers, designed for continuous, real-time signal collection to support Communications Intelligence (COMINT) operations. The 955 Rackmount RF COMINT and Geolocation System and the 957 Rackmount RF COMINT and Independent Geolocation System will be shown for the first time at DSEI 2025, 9–12 September, ExCeL London, Stand N6-130.

The systems deliver rapid detection, filtering, and geolocation of RF communication signals across congested spectrum environments, enabling faster decision-making and reaction times, improved threat awareness, and greater operational agility. Their 80 MHz Instantaneous Bandwidth – double that of its predecessor – allows wide-area signal collection for broad situational awareness, or narrower focus for heightened sensitivity in challenging RF conditions.

Combining two geolocation techniques – Hybrid Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) – enables precise signal location with fewer deployed assets, even over low-bandwidth or intermittent networks.

The rugged, rack-mounted design supports deployment in vehicles, fixed installations, or forward field positions. Both models are built for mission flexibility, with the ability to switch roles without reconfiguration, from counter-terrorism and border security to front-line combat. The 955 is optimised for single-unit, vehicle-mounted, or stand-alone operations, while the 957 offers enhanced processing capacity for simultaneous, independent tasking and networked multi-sensor geolocation across dispersed teams.

The RF systems also feature a 72-hour look-back recording capability, enabling operators to identify a new threat and immediately analyse historical spectrum activity to extract further intelligence. The feature also supports automated and remote monitoring options, reduces manpower requirements for persistent 24/7 operations, and lowers operational costs. A database allows further intelligence analysis for days, weeks and months.

Both systems operate using TCI’s Blackbird software, currently in operational use on almost 1,000 frontline systems worldwide. Blackbird provides an intuitive interface that reduces training time and enables less experienced operators to perform effective COMINT tasks, immediately expanding the possible pool of operators. It allows highly skilled personnel to remain in safer, decentralised positions while remotely managing deployed systems, multiplying force effectiveness.

Built on the combat-proven heritage of their predecessor, the 953 receiver, the new 955 and 957 are backwards compatible with existing SPX Communication Technologies and partner systems, including the ECS BLACKTALON counter-uncrewed aerial system (C-UAS) solution, for scalable integration into wider electronic warfare architectures.

“Today, electronic warfare is at the heart of all defence operations, and mastering the spectrum is now as critical as controlling the air,” says David Beckett, Battlespace Business Development Director at TCI. “Our new systems give defence teams the decisive intelligence they need to succeed.”

The 955 and 957 are now available. See them for the first time at DSEI 2025, 9–12 September, ExCeL London, Stand N6-130, or contact tci_sales@spx.com for more information.

DSEI 2025, 9-12 September, London, Booth N10-310

DSEI 2025, London – September 2, 2025, UVision Air Ltd., a global pioneer in loitering munition systems, is unveiling a major advancement in autonomous warfare: an AI-based Common Operating System (COS) that serves as a unified platform for operating multiple loitering munitions of various classes, mission types, and deployment levels.

Designed for full interoperability, the COS enables seamless integration of rotary-wing platforms such as the Viper system by SpearUAV – operated at tactical team levels including squad, platoon, battalion, and beyond – alongside Uvision’s fixed-wing HERO family, including the long-range, high-payload HERO-120 and HERO-400. The result is a truly heterogeneous ecosystem, all operating under a single AI-powered control layer.

At the core of the system is a multi-layered AI engine that autonomously manages complex mission execution across a heterogeneous array of assets. Tasks are intelligently allocated: one munition may penetrate and disrupt electronic warfare defenses, another performs ISR and real-time target acquisition, and a third executes a coordinated precision strike. This mission-centricdistribution ensures real-time adaptability to evolving threats, delivering both terrain dominance and operational superiority.

The COS performs continuous optimization based on target profile, terrain, and platform availability, maximizing effect while minimizing resource expenditure. This allows commanders to make data-driven decisions on how many and which types of munitions to deploy for maximum mission effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

With an open-architecture design, UVision’s COS integrates seamlessly into existing command-and-control ecosystems, reducing barriers to adoption and enhancing cross-platform synergy.

Dr. Ran Gozali, CEO of UVision Air Ltd., stated:
“This new Common Operating System transforms loitering munitions into a smart, coordinated system-of-systems. It reflects UVision’s strategic shift toward integrated, modular combat solutions that are both operationally decisive and cost-effective. Forces no longer need to expend high-end weapons for every target. Instead, they can deploy the right capability for each mission and dominate the battlespace with agility and intelligence.”

Spectra Group Completes Latest Round of Successful GENSS Trials

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025

Spectra Group, a specialist provider of secure voice, data and satellite communications systems, has announced for DSEi 25, the successful completion of their latest user trials for their next generation tactical radio GENSS. The concept for GENSS was announced last year and since then Spectra Group has successfully completed full product development and now field testing with select user groups. Spectra Group will be showcasing GENSS (pronounced genesis /j?n??-s?s), their award-winning tactical satellite SlingShot system and their recent addition to the Troposcatter Family of Systems, Troposcatter on the Move (TOTM), at DSEi, Excel, London (9-12 September 2025) at stand N2-430. GENSS builds on the foundations created by the award-winning SlingShot system, embodying Spectra Group’s vision of producing ultimate radio systems that capitalise on technological advances, adapt to the evolving demands of military operations and simplify the user experience. It has been designed and developed through a collaborative effort of tactical communication experts, seasoned military specialists and top-tier U.K. scientists and engineers. GENSS is a significant advancement in the field of tactical radio communications, due to its modular core framework and software-defined flexibility, heralding a new era in communication technology and along with the other Spectra Group products delivers a robust layered communications network to support mission critical headquarters and uncrewed systems over the horizon.

These latest field trials further validated the success and user benefits of GENSS, delivering a single tactical radio capable of meeting the extensive secure data, voice and application demands of modern military users. GENSS is a modular, hardware-agnostic radio system designed and now proven to be exceptionally agile, providing ultimate interoperability through straightforward software reprogramming allowing it to adapt quickly and easily to diverse user needs. GENSS is backwards compatible with SlingShot and has the benefit it will automatically tune to the L-TAC frequency, converting any military or civilian HF, VHF or UHF FM radio into a mobile global satellite communications system.

GENSS is also a multi-mode and multi-mission software defined radio in its own right, designed for agility and interoperability whilst focusing on cognitive simplicity for the operator. As well as a bespoke radio firmware package, Spectra Group has developed an integrated software data management package that allows Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) bridging capability for closed/remoted MANET networks. Integrating and managing MANET data feeds into ATAK mission software, Spectra has ensured that wide band mission critical data, such as Personal Location Information (PLI) and Cursor on Target (CoT), can be transmitted over narrowband L-TAC channels, with recent trials also proving streaming video over L-TAC services is possible. By maximising the capability and flexibility that L-TAC offers, GENSS overcomes all traditional BLOS barriers and delivers true Communications on the Move (COTM) for individuals and platforms and by design has a low probability of detection or interception, enhancing its security and operational effectiveness. GENSS is therefore a robust and agile solution for voice and data transmission across all domains and platforms, whether on land, sea or in the air.

Simon Davies, Chief Executive at Spectra Group said, “As a veteran led organisation, my mission has been to craft the ultimate radio system — user-friendly, light, modular and supremely flexible to adapt to the evolving demands of military operations and technological advances. I am immensely proud and excited of what the GENSS team have managed to achieve, and these trials represent the pinnacle of our collective efforts to provide the user with simple and effective solutions. With this latest round of trials, and the rigorous process of full military specification certification to 801/461G complete, we remain on track to bring GENSS to market in the very near future.”
