ECA Group will supply degaussing systems and magnetic ranging systems to an unnamed Asian military under a €7 million contract announced on 27 February.
Degaussing systems reduce the magnetic signature of submarines and surface ships; while magnetic ranging systems measure the vessel's magnetic signature.
ECA will supply its Sterna magnetic ranging system under the contract, a solution that combines an IT180 UAS and an embedded magnetometer and its digitizer. The UAS flies over the vessel to measure the ship's magnetic field using a magnetic sensor payload. The data is then analysed and degaussing parameters are computed.
Together these systems improve the efficiency of the vessel's signature reduction system, reducing vulnerability against underwater mines and enemy detectors.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
