go2signals go2MONITOR

Info

With go2MONITOR you have a software tool that covers the entire workflow in the area of radio signal monitoring and COMINT. The software is modular, configurable and scalable, and can be customized to meet your exact needs.
Manual processing of intercepted communications is too expensive, too slow, insecure and incomplete. In this situation, an automated, flexible and extensible approach must be used with reasonable effort and at an affordable cost.

Key Facts

  • VLF, LF, HF, VHF and SHF all in one package
  • Automatic multi-channel signal processing of data and voice signals
  • Signal classification with modem detection
  • Speech-to-text transcription and, if required, translation into English with Whisper AI
  • COTS hardware (computers, receivers)
  • Multiple coherent broadband inputs, up to 200MHz
  • Panorama overview (depends on receiver)
  • Large and expandable decoder library
  • Stay up-to-date with two updates per year
  • Windows or LINUX

Options

WCL, Wideband Input & Classifier Option

The option extends the input and classifier bandwidth up to 2.4 MHz on HF and 10 or 20 MHz on VHF/UHF.
It is possible to automatically detect, measure and determine modulation type for all signals in the available frequency range. The results are displayed in the GUI and can be used as an input for further processing.

Two additional operating modes for wideband classification are provided:

  • Stepping, This mode can be used with all supported wideband receivers. The monitored frequency ranges are processed in a round-robin algorithm. The receiver remains on each fixed frequency range for a defined period of time, performs detection, classification, and task actions, and then moves on to the next frequency range.
  • Scanning, This mode is possible if the broadband receiver has a fast panorama scan function (e.g., IZT R3xxx).
    First, a broadband scan is performed in the frequency range required for the active tasks. A fast energy detection is performed. The system checks whether the detected frequencies match the energy of one of the active tasks.

AMT, Automatic Monitoring & Tasking Option

The AMT option offers a user-configurable, mission- and task-related automatic signal search. Depending on the task, the signals are automatically recognized, classified, demodulated and decoded according to various criteria.

  • There is a wizard for defining missions, in which the necessary tasks are defined.
  • The results are stored in a database for further evaluation
  • An advanced ResultViewer shows a tabular or graphical representation of the stored data.
  • After starting a mission, the display shows the spectrogram, FFT and the task activities.
  • Already during automatic monitoring, results can be viewed and analyzed in the ResultViewer
  • It is possible to run automatic and manual channels side-by-side
  • Missions can be defined as "offline processing". This separates the real-time part (recording) from the processing part (narrow-band classification and decoding) and allows faster processing than real-time.
  • The task type ‘Live Processing’ is a standard feature in every go2MONITOR version in snapshot mode

NRC, Narrowband Receiver Control Option

With the NRC option it is also possible to assign hand-off receivers directly to an operator.
The advantage of additional good narrowband receivers is:

  • Better sensitivity
  • Use of dedicated antennas
  • Monitoring of fixed frequencies
  • Narrowband receivers consume less resources, as no DDC is required
  • Monitor signals in different frequency ranges

WBR, Wideband Recording Option

With this option go2MONITOR is able record up to 10 or 20 MHz wideband IQ data in real time from the receiver without quality loss on hard-disc. A separate wide band recording component is used.

You can schedule, review and edit your recordings in the recording editor. Select and mark signals or a group of signals to be processed. It is possible to export a single signal or a selection of signals to a new file, usable as new input in go2MONITOR. The FFT of the recorded spectrum is stored together with the IQ data to provide fast spectrum display and navigation.

MIL & PMR Options

MIL Option

  • Decoder for MIL, STANAG, LINK-11 etc. are optional and require End User Certificate EUC) outside Germany.
  • Please refer to the specifications for the list of MIL decoders.

PMR Option

  • Decoder for TETRA, TETRAPOL, NXDN, PMR, APCO25 etc. are optional and require End User Certificate EUC) outside EU.
  • Please refer to the specifications for the list of PMR decoders.

Export Permission (EUC)

  • For the options MIL and PMR an export permission must be granted by the German authorities.

WMPC, Wideband Multi Production Channel Option

You can expand go2MONITOR so that 16/32 (or up to several hundred) channels are produced in parallel in the frequency range of the wideband receiver input.

  • A wideband input (like 20 MHz) requires the automatic, simultaneous processing of many signals. Therefore, the number of processing channels has to be increased. The number of channels depends on the license and the available computing power.
  • "Offline processing" can be selected for the processing channels. This separates the real-time part (recording) from the signal processing part (narrowband classification and decoding). The recorded files are then processed at approx. 4 times the speed.

HOPD, Hopper Detection Option

This option offers automatic detection of frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) signals in I/Q data streams.

  • Up to 1000 hops/s in VHF/UHF
  • Automatic measurement of dwell time, hop bandwidth, hop rate, ...
  • Requires AMT
  • Requires WCL for BW>1MHz

The Hopper Detection Unit detects frequency hopping emissions inside multiple frequency bands.
The software consists of:

  • Several subband processors, each processing one receiver subband
  • A hop combiner that combines the results from all subband processors and places the output in the ResultViewer
  • If the component detects a frequency hopper (FH) it will be reported including the corresponding hop parameters

AUDIO-32, Additional 32 Channels Audio Option

This option adds 32 audio channels (or a multiple of 32)

  • Additional 32 exclusive DDC channels for:
    • Classification
    • Demodulation of analog audio (LSB, USB, AM, FM or WFM with squelch function)
    • Recording
    • Saving results in the database
  • Audio buffering (default 30 min) with playback from position, in loop, noise skip and changed speed
