The Espy Corporation is a company providing commercial radio frequency (RF) monitoring, direction finding, theater net-centric geolocation (TNG) capable sensors, and analysis software to customers in the state of Texas.
Since 1999, The Espy Corporation offers commercial radio frequency (RF) monitoring, direction finding, Theater Net-Centric Geolocation (TNG) capable sensors, and analysis software. The company's sensors and GUIs are engineered to support search, survey, geolocation, discovery, and analysis of transmitters in the RF spectrum. They are suitable for missions related to spectrum monitoring, spectrum enforcement, SIGINT, COMINT, and ELINT, and have applications in both industry and defense.
Specializing in wideband RF signals search, survey, discovery, and geolocation, Espy's teamSENTINEL© group of wideband recording RF sensors can be configured to address different requirements that are defined by frequency coverage (ELF, VLF, HF, VHF, UHF and SHF), size, weight, power, cost, wideband recording capacity, signal detection, signal categorization, angle of arrival direction finding (AoA DF), and TNG.
Extreme recording of wideband digital RF (hours, days, and weeks) affords operators the freedom to conduct signal searches without the pressure of operating in real time, and all while the system is actively acquiring and recording new RF data. Signals can be retroactively prosecuted interactively by an operator to play back as audio, analyze to determine signal type, and geo-locate on geolocation-enabled sensors.
In support of their products and technologies, the company offers different commercial engineering support services that are related to the configuration, deployment, operations, maintenance, and training of their systems and software. Specialized engineering expertise includes direction-finding operations, RF infrastructure optimization, AoA DF antenna system design and deployment, TNG node-deployment and operations, and advanced signals analysis. The company's subject matter experts can be deployed globally, as U.S. export law permits. The products include the following:
- teamSENTINEL—RF stare bandwidth, signal processing, and recording capacity (ELF through SHF)
- teamSENTINELmini©—Optimized for bandwidth where SwAP and transportability are vital
- teamSENTINELnano©—This is smaller and extra mobile
- teamSOIGNE©—These operator GUIs turn terabytes of raw wideband IQ data into spectral metadata
- teamSENTINEL Digital RF Server—These post-analyze formerly recorded digital RF IQ wideband data collected on teamSENTINEL sensors and third-party sensor sources
- RF Peripherals—These are specialized wideband RF multi-couplers and switches, including monitoring antennas and DF antenna systems
On September 15, 2021, Dover, a diversified global manufacturer and solutions provider, announced the acquisition of EspyCorp, which will become part of the Microwave Products Group (MPG) in Dover's Engineered Products segment.
The acquisition of the company positions MPG to leverage long-term growth trends in signal intelligence as the demand for radio frequency detection and spectrum analysis increases globally with extra penetration and sophistication of radio communications. It also allows MPG to provide a set of radio frequency signal solutions to different end-markets majorly within the defense industry while intensifying MPG's technological expertise in radio frequency applications.
MPG's President, Ron Ruppersburg, commented:
"We're excited to add Espy to the MPG team, as their expertise in collecting and analyzing signal data fits very well with our core focus on hardware to protect and condition signals. The complementary product offerings and customer bases between these businesses will create significant opportunities for cross-selling and co-development of our advanced market-leading products allowing our customers to maintain their advantages in the field."
