ELT/162 is the latest generation family of RWR/ESM, integrated in a Self-Protection Suite of helicopters/aircrafts, against radar threats. Integrated in the Suite, the product generates the relevant information needed to initiate any counteraction (maneuvers, passive/active countermeasures or a combination).
It can be configured as a RWR (minimal configuration) up to an ESM system, by adding interferometric antennas.
It is fully digital, based on direct RF sampling. The deinterleaving process is boosted by AI/ML algorithms. SWAP properties in RWR configuration (<20 kg).
EDGE provides the function of self or mutual protection of combat aircrafts, housing Alarm and Countermeasure functionalities in the same architecture.
EDGE is typically delivered in a self-powered and self-cooled pod.
Countermeasures function is based on AESA architecture, powered by programmable Digital Receiver and Digital Radio-Frequency Memory.
System design ensures prompt interception and automatic processing of the radar environment, as well as the implementation of an adaptive power management function to ensure optimized jamming response to the multi-threat environment.
The ELT/577 DIRCM (Direct Infrared Counter Measure) triple band system belongs to ELT family of IR Countermeasures systems. The system, with small size and weight (20 kg), provides a reliable and effective protection of small and medium avionics platforms against surface to air missile threats (MANPADS – Man Portable Air Defence Systems).
Integrated in the Suite, it generates the relevant jamming/deception techniques in a stand-alone mode or cooperating with passive decoys (flares) to enhance the effectiveness. It is based on Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) technology.
