flexible deployment packages
Mission-ready MicroESM Solutions
From a single person-portable sensor operated locally or remotely, to a coastal surveillance solution or multi-sensor array, ESROE’s autonomous, next-gen RESM solutions are available in a variety of commercial off the shelf (COTS) packages to meet user requirements.
single sensor:
Virtually undetectable Elint capabilities
Tactical deployment of a single, very low SWAP RESM sensor provides virtually undetectable, real-time Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) capabilities at the tactical edge for advanced threat protection. Data captured by the sensor is recorded for analysis at a later date.
ESROE’s single sensor deployment equips:
-
-
- Ground troops with early warning of when they could be discovered/targeted by ground surveillance radars or radar guided attack.
- Light Electronic Warfare Troops (LEWTs) with the option to perform reconnaissance missions further forward than traditional ELINT systems.
- Covert operations with ESM that can be deployed at speed and automatically operated in transit, with no restrictions on manoeuvrability.
- Operations with ESM data that can be used alongside AIS and other sensor data.
-
Remote single sensor:
Fully automatic RESM data capture
Deployed as a semi-permanent automatic solution, remote single sensors can be left in situ by frontline personnel, and operated remotely. ESROE’s remote solution utilises a wireless TCP/IP socket to transfer track data back to a computer device running the MicroESM UI and control software.
A remote single sensor deployment enables real time ESM data to be collected on the frontline and shared with:
-
-
- ESM specialists in secure locations, to inform the forces command, enable better decision making, and shape a more informed electronic order of battle (EOB).
- Command, to provide situational awareness and ESM data amongst systems and units in operation.
- Libraries, to enhance ELINT and increase effectiveness of other systems.
-
integrated sensor:
Deployable across manned and unmanned platforms
Deployable where larger ESM systems cannot go, ESROE’s MicroESM solution can be integrated as a payload on current operational platforms, including unmanned systems. Used standalone on a platform, or part of a sensor suite, integrated sensors deliver two key functions – awareness and reconnaissance – by providing:
-
-
- ESM data collection capability on unmanned systems such as UAVs, carrying out reconnaissance missions in denied regions.
- Manned vehicles with early warning of threats by identifying signatures of radar guided systems.
- A low power Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) for armoured vehicles, giving vehicle crews early threat warnings and more time to deploy countermeasures.
- Detection and identification capability for UAVs seeking radars of interest and counterbattery radars.
- Intelligence when designating targets for strike.
-
multi-sensor:
Scalable and resilient geolocation of threat targets
With as few as two networked sensors out in the field, ESROE’s multi-sensor deployment delivers threat geolocation capability. The ESM data captured by integrated and/or remote sensors – which can be placed across a range of platforms – are streamed back to the multi-sensor hub, allowing triangulation of bearing lines to provide an accurate indication of range.
Very small, with a low cost per unit, the networked sensors can be deployed in high volume, making the multi-sensor solution highly versatile and resilient:
-
-
- Enhancing ELINT data with geolocation of radar targets.
- Providing a low cost battlefield, border and coastline surveillance capability.
- Improving force protection around forward operating bases.
- Supporting the detection of unknown emitters, giving trained ESM operators the parameters and bearings needed to analyse tracks.
-
Deep Cross-Domain Intelligence
Whether embedded in general purpose capabilities, reducing the need for dedicated RESM units, or deployed at scale to provide a resilient sensor network, ESROE solutions are inherently survivable and flexible enough for modern multi-domain operations.
Soldier-as-a-Platform
Enhancing force-wide situational awareness Soldier-as-a-Platform MicroESM can be operated in three configurations for local operation, remote operation, or data collection.
Coastal Surveillance
Remotely operable from fixed or semi-permanent sites, this variant of MicroESM solution is capable of continuously identifying signals of interest even in RF dense shipping lanes.
UAV Integration
Solving the range problem, MicroESM can be fitted to a UAV or drone, overcoming sensor/ target radar elevation limitations of land and/or surface based ESM.
