Electronic Intelligence Receiver (ELINT) is an important component in electronic warfare (EW) and layer sensing. The information it provides by constant surveillance can be used to detect, track and classify signals across the electromagnetic spectrum. The proper identification and reaction to the threat can avoid disaster and assure spectrum dominance for Air Force systems.

To meet the challenges in today's and tomorrow's EW environment where signals are increasingly sophisticated, more dynamic, and more crowded in radio frequency (RF) spectrum than before, digital wideband receivers are being developed.
