Communications receivers can be extremely ‘feature-rich’. Having a large number of controls and requiring a step learning curve to operate. This often raises objections by less technical operators, or ones who use these receivers only infrequently, that these receivers have too many buttons.<\/p>\n
HuntMASTER addresses these issues by incorporating only those features that are truly necessary for DF operation. Allowing for a very intuitive and straightforward operation. Anyone who has ever operated a two-way radio will require only brief familiarization to be able to master all of its features.<\/p>\n
Since receiver controller settings automatically change DF Processor settings (and vice versa), configuration subtleties are automated by the software freeing the user to focus on mission critical tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>

AUTONOMOUS OPERATION<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Most of the time the DF operator can rely on HuntMASTER’s automatic line-of-bearing (LOB) plotting capabilities \u00a0instead of spending valuable time performing these tasks. HuntMASTER can automate the process using one of the following AutoPlot triggers:<\/p>\n<\/div>
- <\/i><\/span>
\n
TIME – <\/strong>A certain time has elapsed since the last LOB plotted on the map<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- <\/i><\/span>
\n
DISTANCE –<\/strong> The DF vehicle has drove a certain distance away from the last LOB plotted<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- <\/i><\/span>
\n
SIGNAL –<\/strong> A new \u00a0signal intercept has been detected. HuntMASTER will then start performing bearing computations and plot an LOB once the signal goes off.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

TARGET LOCATION IS ESTIMATED USING ADVANCED ALGORITHMS<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
HuntMASTER uses powerful AI based algorithms to estimate a target’s location. Freeing the user from the complicated task of inferring a target’s location based on the various LOB’s that could be plotted on the map at any given time. HuntMASTER algorithms will make sure to discard those less reliable LOBs and keep the ones that provide the most reliable spacial information.<\/p>\n
The resulting target’s location is displayed as a heat map overlaid onto the map. This areas are colored from a light yellow (minimum probability) to a dark red (maximum probability). The lat\/long coordinates corresponding to the center of the heat maps are displayed on top of the map. They are also recorded as part of \u00a0the mission file, and pasted onto Window’s clipboard for operator convenience. Optionally these coordinates can be automatically pushed as a Cursor-on-Target (CoT) Message to a command and control server.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

MULTI-SITE DF DATA AGGREGATION<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Working with a network of DF sites is as simple as working with just one.\u00a0HuntMASTER ‘IP DF Controller’ module will display the information of each DF site simultaneously.<\/p>\n
Frequency or demodulation mode changes done by the DF operator will propagate automatically to all DF sites at once. Remote site audio listen-through is also available by pressing the speaker icon (as seen on the GUI to the right). Audio streaming is done in real-time using HuntMASTER’s embedded TCP\/IP audio streaming service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
