Mellori Solutions, an Australian provider of EW solutions based in Shoalhaven, NSW, offers a portable radio frequency (RF) testing system called Blue Jay Mobile. The system can be used to simulate a range of electromagnetic conditions in support of test and evaluation activities. “Blue Jay Mobile sets itself apart for its specialized RF testing capabilities, enabling operators to conduct comprehensive testing of EW systems with ease,” said Mellori Solutions’ Chief Engineer, Dan Peabody.
Blue Jay Mobile functions across the full 500 MHz to 40 GHz spectrum and be configured to operate across other frequency bands as needed. The system can be rapidly deployed and set up in under 15 minutes. Its modular design allows it to be divided into subsystems, making it highly transportable, even when traveling on commercial flights.
“Unlike bulky and heavy RF testing systems that are difficult to reposition quickly, Blue Jay Mobile is lightweight, highly portable and easy to deploy. This makes it the ideal solution for dynamic testing, such as ensuring sensor performance on ships at sea, where operational needs demand rapid, accurate validation,” added Dan Peabody.
“It fills a critical gap in the market, providing a configurable solution for accurate testing across various environments – whether for naval operations in the port, ground-based testing for the Air Force or deployed field testing for the Army,” explained Mellori Solutions’ Managing Director, Phil Guy.
Following field trials, Blue Jay Mobile is available to support the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and allied partners with a uniquely adaptable system tailored to the growing demands of modern-day Electromagnetic Warfare (EW). EW has been named as a capability priority in AUKUS Pillar 2.
