[Question] SAPIENT and Electronic Warfare capabilities

[sp132]

SAPIENT is an excellent protocol, but it is somewhat bare-bones when it comes to electronic warfare. It would be beneficial to add more details to the Signal object, such as modulation and bitrate. Standardizing commands and parameters would also be a significant improvement.

Are there any plans to introduce domain-specific messages and parameters to the protocol? Additionally, is it possible to contribute?

Apologies for a slow response.
Suggestions for extending the 'Signal' fields and improvements to the commands/parameters should be relatively easy to implement in the next version of BSI Flex 335, and improvements to ES sensor support and CEMA integration are definitely on the agenda for the next version.

Contributions to SAPIENT are welcome, please email SAPIENT at dstl dot gov dot uk with your suggestions.
