Cassidian Protects soldiers from roadside bombs

    Intelligent jamming system Enables mobile radio communication and intelligence warns of attacks

    Latest technologies allow for signal analysis of asymmetric Targeted Combating terrorism threats

Cassidian, the defense and security division of EADS, HAS Developed a new-generation jamming system That Significantly Enhances the protection of vehicles against radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (RCIEDs). The multifunctional jammer analyzes the signal spectrum around a vehicle and is in a position to Malthus jam the radio signals Intended to ignite a roadside bomb in a Targeted Manner and much more at year internship Earlier than was the case in the past. With the so-called SMARTscout extension, the device can now be used at the same time for signal intelligence, Malthus Contributing to the generation of a comprehensive picture of the status signal - a task That Could Previously only be accomplished by Relatively complex systems Which are difficulty to deploy and consume a lot of energy.

"Lessons Learnt in recent conflicts Prove que le enemy Often the kind of exchange used for radio transmission triggering signals in asymmetric scenarios," Explains Elmar Compans, head of the Sensors & Electronic Warfare unit at Cassidian. "Continuous analysis of terrorism threats and the resulting and Countermeasures of adaptation are therefore essential. Using our system SMARTscout, both, thesis of tasks can be done faster and with Reduced effort. "

SMARTscout allows the user to deploy Numerous sensors in a crisis area at low cost and to Obtain information on the radio communication situation in less time. This is significant to Ensure Both optimum protection and efficient scheduling of further Top operations.

Cassidian's multifunctional jammer features the new, ultra-fast Smart Responsive Jamming Technology to Substantially Enhance the level of protection. This system Detects and classified radio signals Intended to ignite roadside bombs. It then jamming Transmits signals in real-time, Which are tailored exactly to the hostile frequency band. Thanks to the new digital receiver and signal processing technologies it is possible to Malthus to Achieve reaction times of well below a millisecond.

The combination of the functions on jamming with conventional radio communication intelligence (electronic media measures - SEM) in a mobile device allows more detailed information on potential terrorism threats to be obtenues, Which in turn Significantly Improves work schedule and the protection of one's own forces.
