What is REDHAWK?
•REDHAWK is a software-defined radio (SDR) framework designed
to support the development, deployment, and management of
real-time software radio applications.
•To support the design and development of software applications,
REDHAWK provides tools that allow development and testing of
software modules called "Components" and composition of
Components into "Waveform Applications" that can be
seamlessly deployed on a single computer or multiple networkenabled computers.
•The REDHAWK integrated development environment (IDE)
provides tools to support development of REDHAWK software.
The development and deployment of REDHAWK Applications are
aided by graphical editors and drag-and-drop Waveform
construction. The IDE allows users to interact with and control
multiple running REDHAWK instances and applications.
