How to Achieve High-Performance Electronic Intelligence in Tactical Scenarios

Author: Yair Ahron

Electronic intelligence (ELINT) is the process of collecting, analyzing, and exploiting the electromagnetic signals emitted by enemy forces. ELINT can provide valuable information about the location, capabilities, and intentions of hostile actors, as well as help identify and counter their electronic warfare (EW) tactics. However, traditional ELINT systems are often bulky, heavy, and power-hungry, making them unsuitable for tactical use in dynamic and complex environments.

That's why we developed TacSense, a revolutionary ESM system that delivers unparalleled ELINT performance in a small, light, and low-power package. TacSense is designed to meet the needs of tactical forces operating in challenging scenarios, such as ground force maneuvers, covert operations from fixed installations, and aerial surveillance from small unmanned platforms. TacSense can detect, locate, identify, and classify a wide range of electronic threats, such as naval radars, ground-based and airborne radars, communications systems, and radar jammers.

TacSense is based on a modular architecture that allows for easy configuration and customization according to the mission requirements. The system consists of a sensor unit, a processing unit, and a user interface unit. The sensor unit is a compact and ruggedized antenna array that can be mounted on various platforms or carried by one person. The processing unit is a powerful and versatile computer that performs real-time signal processing and analysis using advanced algorithms. The user interface unit is a user-friendly tablet that displays the ELINT picture and allows for intuitive control and interaction with the system.

TacSense offers several advantages over conventional ELINT systems:

  • It has a low size, weight, and power (SWaP) profile, making it easy to deploy, transport, and conceal.
  • It has a high sensitivity and dynamic range, enabling it to detect weak and distant signals in noisy environments.
  • It has a wide frequency coverage and fast scanning speed, allowing it to monitor multiple bands and modes simultaneously.
  • It has a high accuracy and resolution, enabling it to pinpoint the exact location and direction of the emitter.
  • It has a high identification and classification capability, enabling it to recognize the type and function of the emitter based on its signal characteristics.
  • It has a high data fusion and correlation capability, enabling it to integrate information from multiple sources and sensors to create a comprehensive ELINT picture.

TacSense is the ultimate solution for achieving high-performance electronic intelligence in tactical scenarios. With TacSense, you can transform your force from electronic blindness into full electronic awareness, ensuring your safety and the success of your missions.
