Next Generation Inspection System – NEXIS R1

The Next Generation Inspection System (NEXIS) is a scalable family of integrated systems for measuring radar cross section (RCS), material studies, antenna measurements, and more. NEXIS builds on the proven InfiniScan product line, adding modular  technology building blocks for a tailored system configuration that is perfectly suited for all measurement scenarios; whether on the flightline supporting operational assets, in manufacturing providing quality assurance during production, or during engineering R&D.

Key Features:

  • High Speed – 10’ LSAR/CSAR in less than 30 seconds!
  • Superior Sensitivity – Homodyne architecture provides > 30 dB better noise performance than traditional pulsed systems
  • Clutter Rejection – Optimized antennas reduce real-world clutter
  • Highly Mobile – from handheld to fully autonomous configurations
  • Agile Form Factor – Modular support structure enables full aircraft accessibility, including under the aircraft

The InfiniScan Mechanically Assisted, or MAx, system variant leverages metrology-grade location tracking and built-in automation for highly accurate and repeatable aperture formation.

The MAx system RF Head leverages the WaveCore source/receive module to cover the frequency range of 2 – 18 GHz, coupled with a custom-designed antenna to collect both horizontal and vertically polarized data. The incorporation of automation to control the aperture formation and maintain true desired observation geometry greatly improves measurement performance over traditional methods.

The MAx system has automated drive and steering to ensure that the aperture path is followed accurately with each and every measurement. MAx also has automated lift which provides measurement coverage from as low as 15” and up to 17’ while the automated pan/tilt control further simplifies operation and ensures the observation geometry is maintained throughout the measurement. With automated control over all these axis, and being accurately aligned into the target’s coordinate system, MAx is able to dynamically adjust throughout the aperture to match the target’s current attitude at the time of measurement providing repeatable data products regardless of the placement or orientation of the target under test.

With onboard batteries and charging capability, the MAx system can operate completely untethered for over 20 hours and recharges in less than 9 hours. If needed, the system can also operate from a standard 120 VAC outlet. The batteries can be charged simultaneously while the system is operating from AC power and both charging and operation require less than 15 Amps so no special facility power is required.

The InfiniScan system is a man-portable radar imaging tool which revolutionizes the way that RCS measurements are performed. Because this system is man-portable the aperture formation, which is needed to produce an image from the measurement, is not bound to or limited by any mechanical structure. Therefore, the contour and number of paths that may potentially be formed by this tool are “infinite”.

There are three main components to the InfiniScan system which are the handheld unit, backpack unit and the analysis workstation. In order to align to the target and to form images from the data that is collected, a high speed and highly accurate positioning system is required.

System configurations are customized based on individual needs, contact our engineers to discuss your unique scenario.

The InfiniScan product line has matured and is expanding. Stay tuned for updates coming soon!

The SCI-2k radar employs a single channel receiver that is configured to operate in one of the three software selectable frequency bands. Each frequency band is configured independently and user-definable setups are available for saving all radar settings. These system setup files can be recalled to automatically configure the radar. This system supports sub-band frequency sweeps that are optimal for the fastest possible measurements. The SCI-2k incorporates hi-speed RF switches and RF attenuators that will allow for multiple frequency sweeps “on the fly”.

The ES Integrated Measurement System also includes antennas, Rail, supporting mounts, calibration targets set, a video/Laser/tilt module, a position data system and shipping containers.
