Pacific Defense, a leader in C5ISR Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) and CMOSS-based mission systems, has announced the launch of SABER, a next-generation Multi-Function Electronic Warfare and Signals Intelligence (EW/SIGINT) product family. The first product in the series, the EWS1090VP, features a 9-slot 3U OpenVPX configuration designed to deliver real-time multi-domain EW capabilities in the field.
SABER addresses rapidly evolving threats in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) by delivering counter-UAS, counter-IED, counter-communications, and counter-radar capabilities. Built with wideband processing, real-time signal detection, direction-finding, geolocation, and advanced low-latency electronic attack (EA) modes, SABER empowers warfighters to gain immediate tactical advantage and persistent EMS superiority.
SABER is aligned with CMOSS, MORA, and SOSA standards, enabling seamless integration of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components, third-party software-defined radios (SDRs), and AI-enabled apps. This MOSA-based architecture accelerates capability insertion, reduces lifecycle costs, and supports cross-platform interoperability.
By adhering to SOSA and the CMOSS Modular Open Radio Frequency Architecture (MORA), SABER provides open interfaces for radio frequency (RF) systems. This ensures the platform remains adaptable and capable of addressing frequency-agile threats in congested electromagnetic environments. SABER can be quickly upgraded with any MORA-compliant third-party software application or software-defined radio (SDR), allowing operators to stay ahead of emerging threats. These accelerated upgrade cycles and cost efficiencies ensure warfighters are equipped with the most advanced RF systems available—from trusted, government-approved partners.
SABER Enhances Operator Effectiveness
SABER’s software enables versatile orchestration, from interactive control to fully automated, remote managed operations. Through a unified user-friendly interface, warfighters can seamlessly monitor system hardware, operate battle management tools, integrate third-party applications, and deliver decisive effects across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Integrated advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms enhance SABER’s ability to detect RF patterns of life and identify anomalous behaviors. This maximizes accuracy while reducing operator workload and increasing overall mission efficiency.
“SABER’s tactical edge-based AI/ML capabilities enhance system performance, reduce operator burden, and counter emerging threats—all built on a MOSA framework,” said Frank Pietryka, VP of EW, SIGINT, and Autonomy at Pacific Defense. “Warfighters gain theater-level EMS superiority today, with the flexibility to upgrade emergent capabilities tomorrow. The modular design behind SABER’s multifunctionality allows us to continuously innovate and stay ahead of rapidly evolving EW threats.”
