Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unveiled a family of new electronic warfare (EW) systems on Thursday which can combat a range of threats, including UAVs, ships, missiles and radar systems.
The
Scorpius family of systems scans the entire surrounding area for
targets and deploys narrowly focused beams to interfere with multiple
threats across the electromagnetic spectrum. The system effectively
disrupts the operation of electromagnetic systems, including radar,
electronic sensors, navigation and data communications.
The Scorpius family includes five systems: the Scorpius G (ground),
N (naval), SP (air - self-protection), SJ (air - standoff jammer) and
the Scorpius T (training).
The
Scorpius G is a mobile, ground-based EW system used to detect and
disrupt ground and airborne threats. The system can be quickly deployed
by vehicle and is a "soft-kill" air defense system that creates an
electronic dome of protection above a wide area.

The
Scorpius N defends ships against advanced threats, including cruise
missiles, UAVs and airborne imaging radars. The system's extremely high
range provides early detection and targeting of threats.
The
Scorpius SP is a self-protection pod for combat aircraft, while the SJ
is a standoff jammer that disrupts a range of enemy aerial and
ground-based electromagnetic operations. The system can be installed on
fighter and mission aircraft for escort and stand-off jamming missions
or on military transport aircraft. It operates automatically and can
provide protection against all types of Air-to-Air and Surface-to-Air
threats.
Scorpius
has unprecedented receiver sensitivity and transmission power, allowing
it to detect and address multiple threats of different kinds
simultaneously from much farther distances than it was able to do in the past.

The Scorpius T provides electronic warfare (EW) training for pilots. The
system emulates a variety of modern air-defense systems simultaneously
from a single platform and can support training for fifth-generation
aircraft. It was used during the international Blue Flag aerial
exercise.

“The modern battlefield depends on the electromagnetic domain for
sensing, communications and navigation," said Adi Dulberg, general
manager of IAI's
Intelligence Division. "Protecting the use of the electromagnetic
domain for our forces, while denying its use by the enemy, has become
mission-critical for success in combat and for ensuring the superiority
of our forces in the field.
"The
new technology, developed by IAI’s talented engineers, tips the scale
of electronic warfare, providing world-first breakthrough capabilities
for electronic defense and disrupting enemy systems."
