Advanced Signal Processing with the RICI Platform

The Real-Time Interface & Conversion Item (RICI) represents a cutting-edge FPGA-driven signal processing solution designed for efficient data formatting, filtering, adn conversion between serial and LAN interfaces, specifically tailored for radar and surveillance applications. This adaptable platform is extensively utilized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) in the United States, as well as various Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) globally.

Key Features and Connectivity

Equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, the RICI ensures robust IP-based network connectivity, allowing seamless integration with up to four serial devices, including radar systems. Its design supports both tabletop operation and 1U rack-mount installation, making it a flexible choice for diverse operational environments.

Versatile Data Conversion Capabilities

The RICI excels in transforming message formats across a wide array of surveillance data types. Common conversions include formats such as ECGP, SGF, CD-2, ASR, ASTERIX, ADS-B, MAR, TPS75, Mode 4, ARTS, AIRCAT-500, and Mode S, along with both synchronous and asynchronous serial formats, and also LAN configurations. This extensive compatibility ensures that users can effectively manage and utilize their data streams.
