Singapore , February 2008- Elisra recognized worldwide as a standard setter in EW, is known for its proven air and ground forces PAWS systems IR solutions to detect and identify missile threats. Now Elisra is drawing on this robust, highly effective technology to provide civilian airports as well with powerful protection.
Drawing on its all-in-one concept for cost-effectively integrating multiple capabilities, Elisra’s IR solutions offer:
- Missile Approach Warning
- Panoramic display
- Collision avoidance
- Small arms fire warning and detection
Software integration of these powerful capabilities does away with the need for multiple units on airborne platforms, saving space and considerably reducing costs.
PAWS for air and ground applications
PAWS is the first and only family of operationally deployed staring IR Missile Approach Warning Systems for attack and support helicopters, fighter and transport aircraft, civilian cargo and commercial passenger as well as for combat vehicles, tanks, AFVs, APCs and more.
Operating in the mid-IR range, PAWS is a family of advanced Passive Missile Approach Warning Systems that integrates IR sensors with advanced processing capabilities. These features allow PAWS to analyze incoming missile IR signatures, and warn pilots or vehicle crews of the direction, type and Time-To-Impact. PAWS can automatically cue directional IR countermeasures (DIRCM) as well as activate the on-board Chaff and Flare Dispensing system.
One of Elisra's major innovations to PAWS is the new SAPIR system. Featuring capabilities of true IR panoramic (360 degree) day and night vision even in adverse weather conditions of heavy fog, SAPIR offers new levels of pilot or driver safety.
The entire IR line of products – including the new G-Force – features superior ultra-accurate real-time identification of incoming missile direction, even when launched from a short range.
The PAWS Family
PAWS, the first and only family of operationally deployed staring IR Missile Approach warning System, consists of the following:
PAWS-2 – the First Proven IR Protection System for the F-16i
This is the first operationally proven solution for the F-16I deployed by the Israel Air Force. PAWS-2 is unique among platform protection systems, providing simultaneous and multiple threat detection, tracking, and discrimination.
PAWS - Pioneering Helicopter Self Protection Suites
Elisra's innovative Passive Missile Warning Systems for helicopters enhance survivability by the speed and accuracy of their warning and the activation of countermeasures against incoming missiles.
SPIRS - Self Protection IR Suites for Transport Aircraft
Elisra's dedicated Missile Warning Systems for protecting transport aircraft, SPIRS utilizes military off-the-shelf technology customized to meet the environmental and operational requirements of transport aircraft.
LORICA
Elisra's specially adapted commercial version of the PAWS family of IR Missile Warning System, the LORICA detects and tracks threatening missiles, automatically alerts pilots and provides countermeasure systems with the data to automatically activate a diverting laser beam.
TANDIR
A unique protection solution for frontline combat vehicles – MBTs, AFVs and APCs TANDIR integrates Elisra’s day and night incoming threat identification systems into ground combat vehicles.
The TANDIR system has exceptional capabilities for ultra-fast, high precision multiple and simultaneous threat signature identification, tracking & detection. Equally effective at night as it is during the day, TANDIR greatly enhances combat platform survivability in the battlefield.
