Airborne electromagnetic attack solutions
Enablement for mission successComprehensive capabilities for airborne electromagnetic warfare
HENSOLDT's airborne electromagnetic attack solutions enable cross-domain effects in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). Radar systems in the air, on the ground and at sea are effectively jammed and communications lines are supressed as well. Simultaneously a real-time situational picture is generated. Therefore, electromagnetic combat supports the operational forms of our armed forces.
Advanced jamming for complex missions
Our solutions offer a wide range of capabilities for stand-off, escort, and stand-in jamming, enabling military forces to operate in diverse and challenging environments. HENSOLDT’s solutions are reliable, flexible and scalable, enabling precise and tailored electromagnetic attacks to maintain operational freedom in complex scenarios.
Products
Innovative solutions for a safer worldTypes of jammers
Stand-off jammer: precision from a distance
Stand-Off Jammer (SOJ) deliver powerful and precise electromagnetic attack capabilities at extended ranges, ensuring the safety of friendly forces without entering hostile engagement zones. The SOJ disrupts adversary radars and communications from a significant distance, reducing the risk of being exposed to the hostile environment while maintaining operational effectiveness.
- Long-distance electromagnetic attack
- Highly effective against radar and communications
- Command and Control capability in modern warfare
- Scalable and adaptable to platform requirements
Escort jammer: protection in close proximity
Escort Jammer (ESJ) provide critical protection for military aircraft, particularly during high-risk missions. By operating in the electromagnetic spectrum against enemy radar and missile systems, they ensure the safety of the dedicated protectees, allowing them to complete their mission in a complex and challenging environment.
- Continuous protection of high-value assets
- Adaptive jamming for dynamic threats
- Effective multi-target engagement using the latest AESA technology and jamming generator
- Compatible with a wide range of platforms and mission profiles
Stand-in jammer: effective close-range disruption
Stand-In Jammers (SIJ) operate directly in the threat environment, providing targeted jamming of enemy systems at close range. This solution is highly effective due to its close proximity to the target and its ability to deliver superior performance in complex scenarios. This makes it ideal for high-intensity operations where precision is paramount.
- Close to the target
- Ideal for high-priority missions
- Highly adaptable to multiple combat scenarios
- Enables effective suppression of enemy air defences
Electromagnetic attack system integration: seamless coordination
HENSOLDT's airborne electromagnetic attack solutions can be integrated into a wide range of platforms, providing seamless coordination with other avionics and mission systems. Our solutions enhance the effectiveness of multi-platform operations, allowing forces to conduct comprehensive electromagnetic warfare in conjunction with other military assets.
- Full integration with existing aircraft systems
- Supports multi-platform, multi-domain operations
- Improves operational flexibility and coordination
- Proven performance in both independent and joint operations
