Exelis has been awarded a contract to provide Swedish submarines with the latest model of the ES-3701 electronic warfare (EW) system, the company announced on 13 January.
The contract is valued at over $17 million, and the new EW system will offer a significant capability boost in the areas of situational awareness, targeting, self-protection and surveillance.
Dave Prater, vice president and general manager of the radar and reconnaissance systems business, Exelis, said: 'The ES-3701 is the ideal ESM system for submarines and surface ships and is widely deployed with allies around the world. Our ESM technology will equip Sweden to handle a range of emerging threats they face, now and in the future.'
The ES-3701 uses a circular array interferometer antenna. This provides precise direction finding over a 360-degree azimuth and at high elevation while maintaining a 100% probability of interception.
Through digital technology and modern signal processing, the system intercepts, measures and identifies complex signals, including Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave, in dense radio frequency environments, even in the presence of interfering signals.
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.
