New Multi-Use Protection System from Airbus Defence & Space (DS) Combines SIGINT, Comms Jamming and Bomb Protection

摘要

Airbus Defence & Space (DS) has developed the new Multirole Jammer protection system, combining high efficiency countering radio-controlled RCIEDs with comprehensive monitoring of the signal spectrum and tactical communication jamming. Based on latest SDR technologies, the Multirole Jammer analyses the signal spectrum around a vehicle and is thus in a position to jam the radio signals intended to ignite a roadside bomb in an extremely target-efficient way. In an extended role, the device can be used for operational signal intelligence, thus contributing to the generation of a comprehensive picture of the signal situation - a task that previously could only be accomplished by separate systems which are scarce in number and much more difficult to deploy. The multirole jammer also allows to take over classic tactical jamming tasks, as well as supporting the developing counter-UAV systems. Making use of the indispensable RCIED protection equipment ensures efficient use of available space, weight, power and budget.
