Elettronica displays a range of products at the Paris

The company is enlarging its product portfolio to cope with new threats

Elettronica, one of the leaders in the production of Electronic Warfare (EW), is renowned for developing strategic and tactical surveillance capabilities as well as self-defence and electronic attack systems for naval, airborne and ground applications. Their product line covers all kinds of EW solutions, from single stand-alone equipment to complete integrated systems, based on in house up-to-date technologies and architectures (modular, open) i.e. active phased arrays, receiving and transmitting modules, digital radio frequency memory and digital receivers.

The company is enlarging its product portfolio to cope with new threats and more stringent customer requirements. In addition to its RF EW core business, the company has developed new IR countermeasures and communication intelligence solutions, and is approaching the new frontier technologies in the cyber warfare domain, now consolidated with the creation of a joint venture company.

Elettronica and Expert System created CY4Gate in order to address the fast converging market of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Cyber Intelligence solutions. The joint venture provides a complete range of solutions capable of providing superior, comprehensive, fast and structured analysis of non-uniform data streams.

Recently, at the Paris Air Show 2015, Elettronica displayed a range of products that highlighted the benefits of implementing the most advanced technologies such as:

Virgilius: An advanced, multiplatform, fully integrated, flexible Electronic Warfare architecture which uses advanced signal processing techniques and key enabling technologies to deliver a superior range of performance, as well as a very high modular architecture that makes the Virgilius family of products available for installation in airborne, naval and ground platforms.

ELT/572 DIRCM (Directional Infrared Countermeasures): This is the company’s response to MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defence Systems) missiles, which remain one of the major threats to airborne platforms, easily encountered in the asymmetric conflicts and in terrorist actions. The most reliable and effective approach to counter this type of evolving threat is represented by the use of Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM).

The fibre laser technology, applied in the ELT/572, enhances DIRCM effectiveness by improving performances, effectiveness, reliability and efficiency, while it overcomes the traditional setbacks of previous DIRCM suites by reducing the installation constraints on both rotating and fixed wing platforms, as well as the even more critical and complex setting-up, alignment and maintenance operations.

ELT/741: It can provide ELINT function for data collection, accurate processing and RWR function with an automatic alarm in case of detection of high priority threat emissions. This state-of-the-art ESM/RWR equipment is equally suitable for installation in both rotating and fixed wing high performance platforms.

The ELT/800: The system allows Tactical Surveillance (ESM function) and highly accurate data processing for intelligence analysis purposes (ELINT function). It is a compact and light weight solution providing considerable installation flexibility. Fully compatible, it can be deployed on any legacy and future generation of airborne platforms.

SmartElettronica Maintenance System: This innovative approach takes full advantage of the next generation diagnostic and prognostic hardware embedded in Elettronica’s new EW Systems, and provides the maintenance operator with intuitive touch screen interface and multimedia capabilities, as well as step-by-step guidance in performing the often time-critical troubleshooting, fault isolation and recovery processes.
