How the EW works
Principles of operation of electronic warfare systems
Electronic warfare (EW) is a set of measures aimed at disrupting communications between operators and enemy electronic systems, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), air defense systems, and artillery systems. EW systems are also capable of blocking mobile and satellite communications, disorienting the enemy.
Classification of electronic warfare systems by range:
- Trench, vehicle-based electronic warfare systems are typically used to counter FVP drones at a distance of up to 500 meters.
- Short-range systems are designed to cover a foamy section of the frontline from the enemy: a stronghold, a location with personnel, etc. The range is up to 10 km.
- Tactical (up to 50 km)
- Operational and tactical (up to 500 km)
The size of the systems varies from portable devices to large-sized complexes transported by trucks.
Mechanism of Action of EWS
Electronic warfare systems operate on the principle of creating powerful directional interference in a wide range of frequencies.
Advanced technologies allow to generate complex adaptive signals that effectively block communication channels between UAVs, their operators and satellite navigation systems.
The result of electronic warfare systems is the complete disorientation of enemy UAVs, which leads to mission failure, loss of control, or forced course changes.
Application of EWS
Electronic warfare systems are used in a variety of facilities: in trenches, positions, dugouts, command posts, as well as on armored vehicles and artillery systems.
Our electronic warfare systems are designed to meet the specifics of modern warfare and are constantly being improved based on the experience of real-world use. Rapira provides not only the supply of equipment, but also comprehensive support, including personnel training, maintenance and rapid modernization of systems in accordance with new challenges
Selecting the Optimal EWS
When choosing an electronic warfare system, it is necessary to take into account:
- Types of UAVs used by the enemy
- Operating frequencies of target UAVs
- Objects that need protection
- Specific combat missions
Our Rapier electronic warfare systems are designed with these factors in mind and offer flexible solutions for a variety of application scenarios.
