In operational scenarios the most likely threat to combat aircraft over
the target area is represented by the simulaneous presence of surveillance, acquisition and tracking radars as well as missile and fire control systems. Among the main jamming roles required to ensure an adequate protection of
attack formations, the Escort, Support, Stand-in and Close Support ones undoubtedly deserve special attention.
To meet such demanding requirements, Elisra proposes its ALQ-903 highly integrated Escort/Support Jammer Pod, designed to provide both individual and collective protection to combat aircraft. System design ensures
prompt interception and automatic processing of the radar environment, as well as the implementation of a power management function to ensure an optimized jamming response to the multi-threat environment. |

The ALQ-903 equipment's unrivaled performance stems form its highly advanced system design based on solid-state and digital
technologies (DRFM, Digital Receiver RX/TX modules) and phasedarray antennas, featuring fast electronic beam steering and high ERPs. This design approach represents the only effective solution to the stringent needs of today's threat environments where fast
emitter interception, real-time identification and dedicated ECM programs constitute vital assets towards mission success.
The pod is designed for use in the platform's central station in order to provide a 360º coverage. Self-cooled and fully automatic, the ESJ pod is essentially a stand-alone equipment, that during missions overrides the plaform's internal self-protection suite. Also its reduced dimensions and mass make it suitable for a wide range of platforms. |
