HENSOLDT Launches Kalaetron Attack Jammer
HENSOLDT has achieved a technological leap in the advancement of technologies to control the electromagnetic spectrum. Combining AI, digitisation, Active Electronically Scanning Array (AESA) and 3D printing technologies, the company has developed a multi-function jamming system called Kalaetron Attack that can actively jam enemy radars in an extremely wide frequency band but can also be used passively as a reconnaissance sensor.
Core elements of the system are a fully digitised broadband sensor and effector, a fully polarisable, electronically controllable jammer and a condensed design of the electronic components only made possible by metallic 3D printing. This has made it possible to integrate the AESA jammer into a small pod system that can be easily integrated into flying platforms but also scaled for sea and land applications. The next step in development is to fit it into an aircraft to confirm the already outstanding laboratory results in realistic flight tests.
Kalaetron Attack is part of HENSOLDT’s all-digital Kalaetron product family. It can be deployed in various configurations on diverse platforms for self-protection and signal intelligence tasks. The company has also developed COMINT and ELINT sensors for NATO and partner forces and integrates them into EW systems for the Air Force, Army and Navy.
