Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Saab Defense reported Wednesday
that it is in the final stages of development of a new family of Electronic
Warfare self-protection systems.
The systems include a new advanced electronic attack
jammer pod, Saab said in a press release. It can protect aircraft strike
formations from low-frequency radars is on display at a defense and security
exhibition in Britain.
One version of Arexis is the on-board EW suite on new
versions of Gripen
E/F fighters, according to the company.
Saab said the jammer pod's capability comes from use of
DRFM-based jamming techniques such as smart noise, coherent false targets and
various saturation techniques.
Arexis' core technologies are ultra-wideband digital
receivers and digital radio frequency memory devices, as well as gallium
nitride solid state active electronically scanned array jammer transmitters and
interferometric direction finding systems.
For the advanced electronic attack application, the
technologies are adapted to the lower frequency ranges needed to jam modern
anti-stealth air defense systems.
