New Update for Krypto1000 Unveiled at AOC 2015, Dec. 1-3

The newest update of Krypto1000 and Krypto500 will be available for viewing this week during the 52^nd Annual Association of Old Crows (AOC) International Symposium & Convention in Washington DC, December 1-3.

Representatives from COMINT Consulting will be available in booth #435 to personally answer questions on this highly advanced SIGINT software.

Krypto1000 has significantly expanded its compatibility and availability on multiple platforms.

— Windows 10 can now run Krypto1000.

— Mac operating systems are compatible using VM support. VMWare, VirtualBox, VirtualPC, Vagrant and HyperV software can now run Krypto500 software in any Linux, Java, Unix or MacOS environment.

Also included in the latest Krypto1000 update:

File Player Updates

— The file player can now load RAW files into 32-bit float format, and 64-bit double floating point files.

— The file player can also play back baseband WAVs and RAW files. Custom center input and inversion are supported.

Digital Mobile Radio Support (DMR and dPMR)

— Mode 1 (Peer-to-Peer), Mode 2 (Repeater) and Mode 3 (Linked Repeater) of  DMR Tier I

— dPMR (aka dPMR446) and DMR Tiers I and II

— Both Voice and Data modes of DMR Tier-II

Midas Blue

Another feature of the recent update is Midas Blue protocol support. This protocol specification is built on the NeXtMidas standard and used by various U.S. governmental agencies.

Equipment Support Added

Epiq Solutions’ Quadratiq and Maveriq SDRs are now compatible with Krypto1000. The Quadratiq is a 4-channel SDR and the Maveriq can be used as a transceiver for Active SIGINT or EA (Electronic Attack) operations.

COMINT Consulting President James Kilgallen will also be speaking at AOC from 2-4 p.m. on Thursday, December 3. His topic is SIGINT in today’s EW arena. He’ll be reviewing analysis from our 24/7 monitoring and analysis efforts, explaining how terrorists and threats are communicating even in infrastructure-poor areas, and suggesting how industry collaboration can tighten the net around them.

Krypto 500 and Krypto 1000 Questions Answered at Dixie Crow 41-2016

There’s still time to connect at Dixie Crow Symposium 41 in Warner Robins, Georgia, from March 20-24.

We will be attending the day-long event at the Museum of Aviation, Robins Air Force Base. The theme this year is “EW/ISR: Today’s Innovations Countering Tomorrow’s Threats.”

Krypto 500 and Krypto 1000 were designed specifically to close the chasm between the standard legacy systems still in use today and the hybrid and frequency-hopping techniques being developed by targets of interest.

No other SIGINT or COMINT software offers the detailed, verified intelligence that Krypto 500 and Krypt0 1000 puts at the fingertips of any operator on almost any platform — Windows 10, MacOS, Linux, Java or Unix. VM (virtual machine) support includes compatibility with VMWare, VirtualBox, VirtualPC, Vagrant and HyperV.

Krypto500 and Krypto1000 are compatible with more than 300 leading receivers, SDRs, DF and other SIGINT/COMINT systems can can be used for EA, ES and EMS operations.

We will be in attendance at Dixie Crow Symposium 41, so if you need additional information about Krypto 500 and Krypto 100, please contact us directly to make arrangements.

SIGINT Capability is Extended for RFeye Receivers by CRFS

CRFS, a leader in RF spectrum monitoring solutions, and COMINT Consulting, a supplier of market leading SIGINT software, are pleased to announce the introduction of expanded identification, decoding, analysis and classification capability for the RFeye(TM) family of receivers.

CRFS develops and manufactures radio monitoring, direction finding and geolocation systems that are deployed in many countries by security, law enforcement, intelligence and defense communities. Its RFeye^TM intelligent wideband receivers are designed for ground fixed, mobile and airborne applications, where low SWaP and high performance are critical to mission success.

Krypto series software from COMINT Consulting includes automated or manual signal identification, recording, classification, decode and parse routines, together with up-to-date decoders and signals classification algorithms, providing enhanced capability for SIGINT missions. It further includes unique transceiver fingerprinting routines, called RadioID.

Krypto software is now available to support the whole family of RFeye wideband receivers — narrow band signals up to 48kHz in the ELF to SHF frequency range (Krypto500) and all signal types, including extended wideband signals, for target signals in VHF and above (Krypto1000).

“We welcome the collaboration with COMINT Consulting,” said Marty Mosier, General Manager at CRFS Inc. “RFeye platforms offer state-of-the-art performance for wideband radio monitoring applications and the Krypto software offers a valuable complementary SIGINT capability enabling us to service a wider user community.”

“CRFS’s RFeye platform is a valuable addition to the receivers that our Krypto software supports,” said Jim Kilgallen, CEO of COMINT Consulting. “In particular, our latest Krypto1000 suite provides valuable intelligence on the types of wideband signals captured by the RFeye, including very short duration signals.   The high probability of intercept of the RFeye receivers, coupled with our real-time SIGINT tools, makes for a very powerful system.”
