Symmetrics specialize in electronic warfare systems, improved data modems, digital communications and electronic manufacturing services. We are an AS9100B / ISO9001-2000 registered small business, recognized within the army industry for our electronics design, manufacture, and testing for the DoD, prime contractors and international customers.

Symetrics offer a wide range of products, including self-protection suites, digital communications, imagery transfer, and ground stations. Our products include the AN/ALE-47 countermeasure dispenser system, the Symetrics-developed AN/ALM-295 flight-line tester, AN/USQ-131 Memory Loader Verifier Set (MLVS) for transfer / verification of EW software, the family of Improved Data Modems (IDM) for digital communication onboard military aircraft (including the IDM-302 and IDM-304), the PRISM improved data modem, which adds imagery transmission to IDM-equipped aircraft, the Symetrics-developed IDM-501 and mini IDM, and mini-radio IDM for applications which require a weapons datalink.

AN/ALE-47 COUNTERMEASURES DISPENSER SYSTEM

The AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser System (CMDS) is an Electronic Warfare (EW) system affording combat aircrews with enhanced survivability in all threat environments. It easily integrates with a large variety of EW systems (MWS, RWR and jammers), and can dispense up to 16 different expendable countermeasures. The AN/ALE-47 system is highly configurable and consists of a Control Display Unit (CDU), programmer, safety switches, sequencers and dispensers.

AN/ALM-295 COUNTERMEASURES DISPENSER TEST SET

The Symetrics Countermeasures Dispenser Test Set (CDT) performs flight line safety and functional checks of the AN/ALE-47. The test set is two ruggedized CDTs in a single, weather-resistant carrying case that can be carried by one person. Each CDT consists of a weather-resistant chassis, a multi-line, backlit alphanumeric LCD display, required control switches, internal electronics and sensor contacts, and carrying handles. The unit is battery powered by easily replaceable D cell batteries, and is totally self-contained.

IMPROVED DATA MODEMS (IDM)

Since 1993, Symetrics Industries has manufactured and delivered over 3,500 units of the IDM in either the IDM-301 or IDM-302 configurations. Symetrics recently added the 304 to their family of IDM products. IDM is a flight-proven, multi-path approach to situational awareness in the cockpit.

The world's military organizations gain additional utility and service life from their existing installed radio equipment by installing the IDM. Interconnecting with up to four separate radios (HF, UHF, VHF or SATCOM), the IDM facilitates the creation of a digital transmission network for the sharing of sensor and tactical data among all coalition forces without regard to nationality, language or platform.

• IDM-501: originally designed for UAV applications, the IDM-501 fits easily into fighter / attack aircraft and helicopters; IDM-501 has all the same capabilities of existing IDM systems
• Mini-IDM: designed as a low-cost weapons datalink for air-launched munitions and for UAV applications where a lightweight, low-cost, extremely small LRU can be integrated
• PC/104 IDM: designed for all applications that have extreme space limitations but with available space within another LRU supporting a PC/104 structure
• VP-IDM: VPIDM combines the basic concept and capability of the PRISM card and the upgrades include an improved pilot vehicle interface and a compact flash card for image upload and archive; VPIDM is designed for all applications with space limitations onboard the platform but with available areas within other LRUs

PRISM™ IDM

The PRISM-equipped IDM combines the enhanced functionality of a low cost, small size, lightweight, multi-channel, intelligent, digital modem with the video imagery transfer capability of the Photo Telesis Military MicroRIT. This system provides the means to integrate imagery capability into an existing IDM, or via a VME IDM on a laptop computer. The image-handling capability can compress and crop the selected pictures to offer the user an enhanced situation awareness functionality.

DATE MODEM AND RADIO

The Weapons DataLink is a data modem and radio combined that provides users with the capability to transmit and receive data to and from a digital message device using TACFIRE protocol, AFAPD protocol, IDL protocol, or MIL-STD-188-220. With its low cost and small size, it is ideally suited to be used as a weapons datalink.
