SkyLark-N
Naval communications ESM systemThe challenge
Our solution
The GEW SkyLark-N ESM system is a high-performance, state-of-the-art communications surveillance and monitoring system for naval applications. At the system’s core is the GEW MRD7090CE DF, featuring simultaneous wideband direction-finding and monitoring functions complimented with advanced signal classification, analysis and data-
decoding capabilities.
The easy-to-use system and intuitive GEW SkyMon user-interface guide the operator through ESM operations such as monitoring, emitter tracking and signal analysis.
The system is ideal for installations in the naval domain. The design is rugged and lightweight, with low power consumption.
Designed for naval applications, the SkyLark-N system uses a compact naval qualified interferometric direction- finding and monitoring antenna, which provides the best performance balance between size, sensitivity and accuracy. The antenna is installed in a clear area high up on the vessel’s mast.
