Naval Self-Protection

The electromagnetic operational environment has become increasingly complex. No matter how well-prepared armed forces may be when they embark on their mission, they may enter contested naval spaces where they may encounter fast, varied and unexpected threats. To ensure platform survivability, naval platforms need to be equipped with EW suites that provide the appropriate means for Commanders to keep the tactical edge: rely on the accuracy of the data, choose from a range of countermeasures, from jamming and decoying to missiles, for a graduated response to the tactical context.

Military helicopters are carrying out their missions in various and very often complex operational environments. They are facing a wide range of threats and rely on their manoeuvrability and armour but above all on their self-protection system to survive.

Electronic warfare: the cornerstone of platform survivability

The aircrew has been briefed, the mission is clear: the helicopter is to fly deep into enemy territory to provide air support for ground troops in a sticky situation. As the crew straps in and prepares for take-off, they know they'll be flying into the unknown. Despite the detailed intelligence gathered beforehand, there's no knowing what they'll encounter: enemy surveillance systems may have been redeployed, short-range missile systems and rocket launchers may have been concealed behind terrain features, or a makeshift drone could be flown into the helicopter. The helicopter's self-protection system needs to perform in order to guarantee the mission success and bring them back to base safe and sound.
