Elbit Systems is planning to
unveil a new Electronic Warfare (EW) capability to counter drone threats at the
upcoming Paris Airshow.
The new capability is
provided via the digital Radar Warning Receivers (RWR), one part of Elbit’s
proven Airborne self-protection EW suite, and enables drone detection and
identification as well as locating Personal Location Beacon (PLB) of ground
forces and pilots.
Elbit’s EW suite, operational
on hundreds of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, comprises of EW Controller,
Digital Radar Warning Receiver, IR Missile Warning System (MWS), Laser Warning
Systems (LWS), Counter Measure Dispenser System (CMDS), DIRCM and Electronic
Counter Measure Jammer, operating individually or in concert; to provide
maximum platform protection and aircrew survivability against advanced threats.
This new Radar Warning
Receiver capability locates drones and classifies them as a threat, and
provides an answer to dealing with one of the most increasing threats facing
commercial and military aircraft today. The ability to locate and classify
drones as a threat is enabled by adding new processing capabilities to the
Radar Warning Receiver digital receivers. As part of an overall Electronic
Warfare solution, the sensor continues to function as a Radar Warning Receiver
sensor in parallel to the new capability, and enhances mission success for
helicopters and transport aircraft.
In addition, the Radar
Warning Receivers can be configured with another new capability, the ability to
detect and geo-locate the Personal Location Beacon of ground forces or pilots
located on the ground. This capability means that any platform with a Radar
Warning Receiver can perform this task, which saves time and resources that are
critical in a search and rescue (SAR) mission.
