According to its developers, the system monitors the electromagnetic spectrum, autonomously detecting, analyzing, generating and transmitting signals. Meanwhile, the system’s broad spatial and frequency coverage allow for a timely response across a wide range of threat types, thus improving mission success probability.
STORM SHIELD features an AESA-based transmitter with solid-state R/T modules and advanced DRFM technology for generating electronic warfare techniques. The system provides broad frequency coverage, autonomous electromagnetic monitoring, direction-finding and radar deception capabilities to counter radar-guided threats, the company explained.
