Israeli company Rafael has been awarded a contract to supply vessels of a NATO country with the latest generation of its Digital Shark Naval Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) System.
The advanced, system will provide NATO fleets with unparalleled capabilities to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum for both defensive and offensive operations. According to the company, its Digital Shark system represents the forefront of naval electronic warfare (EW) technology, engineered to identify and neutralize complex radar threats autonomously.
With its digital receiver, the system is capable of detecting a wide range of radar threats, from missile seekers to designation radars. Once a threat is detected, Digital Shark can respond autonomously and instantaneously by directing high-power electromagnetic beams to disrupt the radar’s function, rendering it ineffective. The 3rd Generation Digital Shark employs an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) that allows for rapid and precise beam steering and a high-power jammer for robust offensive countermeasures. Rafael incorporates advanced Digital RF Memory (DRFM) technology, enhancing the system's ability to deceive and neutralize even the most sophisticated radar systems.
The Digital Shark ECM system joins Rafael’s growing portfolio of naval EW countermeasure solutions, which includes the C-GEM active decoy. Together, these capabilities offer comprehensive protection, equipping naval forces with the tools necessary to maintain a tactical edge in complex maritime environments.
According to Rafael's VP Ran Tavor, Head of Naval Systems Division, the Digital Shark’s 3rd Generation capabilities not only elevate electronic defence but also bolster offensive responses, adapting to the diverse challenges presented by today’s advanced radar threats.
