February 16, 2008 - Elisra, a world leader in EW defence protection and communications solutions, is a preferred supplier of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and provides its advanced solutions to armies around the world. The company is developing now an innovative support jamming system, ALQ-903 Escort Jammer, which will allow penetration of complex layers of air defences, increasing the survivability of attacking forces.
Based on Elisra’s technological capabilities and expertise - accumulated during years of operational experience in the RWR/ESM and ECM fields - the fully digital ALQ-903 Escort Jammer System utilizes advanced technology that enables automatic radar detection, identification and jamming.
Designed as a payload, the Escort Jammer can be used with most fighter aircraft. Installed on a single plane within each group, the system detects ground radar, jamming their radar equipment and prevents the detection of circling aircraft. The system includes phase array solid state power amplifiers, and operates in autonomous or controlled modes.
According to Itschak Gat, CEO of Elisra, “As recognized experts in Electronic Warfare, we leverage our expertise and capabilities in EW in the creation of cutting-edge solutions for the protection of airborne applications. Elisra has taken a major step forward with the development of the Escort Jammer System, which is among the best in the field.”
