Next-Gen Direct RF Demo

Small Form Factor Altera Agilex 9 FPGA Solution


We’re always pleased to have Annapolis Micro Systems join us at UK events, and we're excited to be joined by Bob Kirk and Noah Donaldson at DSEI 2025 in London in September 2025. This year they’re bringing a powerful mix of innovation, performance, and real-world application.

Based in Maryland, USA, Annapolis Micro Systems has spent over 35 years pushing the boundaries of embedded signal processing. They specialise in: 
 
  • Rugged, high-bandwidth FPGA boards and systems
  • Direct RF and optical I/O for demanding edge applications
  • Rapid development tools for DSP workloads
  • Long product life cycles and outstanding support

Whether you're working on EW, SIGINT, radar, C4ISR, or AI-at-the-edge, Annapolis provides the modular building blocks and open standards support to accelerate your application without locking you into proprietary hardware.
 

If You See One Thing at DSEI, It Should Be This…

For the first time in the UK, you can see the WILDSTAR SAF1 module in action - a SWaP-optimised Direct RF platform built for tough environments, from UAVs and ground vehicles to man-portable ISR kits.

Live Demo Highlights:
 
  • ADC sampling at 64 GS/s, using Agilex 9
  • Decimate-by-16 processing, displaying 4 GHz of tunable bandwidth
  • Built with Open CoreFire™, an agnostic DSP development environment

Here’s the really clever bit: the demo application was originally developed for a 3U OpenVPX Xilinx-based card, but was ported to the SAF1 module using Open CoreFire™ in just one month. That’s a huge win for development speed and reuse, especially for customers operating in fast-paced environments where agility matters.

If you’re attending the show, make sure to stop by N4-311 and check out the live demo; it's a great opportunity to see real-time, wideband signal processing in action with impressive performance metrics and a flexible development environment.
The WILDSTAR SAF1 platform is engineered specifically for SWaP-constrained edge environments – think UAVs, ground vehicles, and man-portable systems. It delivers full Direct RF capability in a rugged, small form factor module without compromising performance.

Key features include:

Four channels each of ADC and DAC at up to 64 GSps with 10-bit resolution
✅ Altera Agilex 9 FPGA for powerful on-board digital signal processing
✅ Decimation and tunable wideband reception up to 4 GHz
✅ Open CoreFire™ support, enabling fast and flexible application development
✅ Development Kit and Spectrum Analysis App included
✅ Designed for tight-envelope, high-mobility deployments

Let’s Connect at DSEI 2025

DSEI is one of the biggest defence and security events in the world, and we’re proud to showcase the kind of technology that’s helping define the future of electronic warfare, ISR, and edge compute.

Drop by the Sarsen Technology stand to see the SAF1 demo in action, meet the Annapolis team, and find out how this powerful Direct RF solution can support your next project.

See you in London!
