Sampling Of Rwr/esm Systems

摘要

In June 2007, JED conducted a survey on radar warning receivers (RWRs) and electronic support measures (ESM) and electronic intelligence (ELINT) systems. This month's survey limited the scope to only RWRs and radar ESM systems. Even though the functionality of these three types of systems has merged somewhat over the last few years, each receiver type has its place. The RWR is a warning device for pilots to make them aware of an imminent threat to their aircraft, while the ESM system was designed more for collecting information about the battlespace and making this information available for all users. ELINT systems collect information on specific signals and bring back data for the SIGINT experts to analyze.
