As evidenced in the Ukraine, the modern battlespace has brought radar back into sharp focus. In this newly published whitepaper, ESROE’s Tom Beese and Jon Roe examine the key role that radar plays in modern weapon systems, and the urgent need for agile, pervasive electronic intelligence to outpace evolving threats.

 

The current challenge

Within Electronic Warfare, achieving detection, identification and location of radar systems is through the use of Electronic Support Measures (ESM) systems. Such systems have been developed over decades, but the challenge within NATO and the 5-eyes nations radar ESM (sometimes known as RESM) is that their cost, size, complexity and power consumption mean that they are generally only on a limited number of large, very high value platforms such as warships and surveillance aircraft. Even in the land battlespace large vehicles have been required to transport and operate such equipment and the cost of even these smaller platforms has limited the numbers available in operations.

 

Because of this value and scarcity, most existing RESM capability and the platforms carrying it, tend to be deployed in “stand off” positions to avoid exposure to significant threat. This limits how effective these systems can be. It also drives up the performance requirements on the RESM equipment, particularly in terms of receiver sensitivity needed to ensure that radar threats and radar signals of interest can be detected at long range. The result is that individual systems cost into the $M’s.

This new whitepaper discusses how MicroESM solves this challenge with a radically deployable solution that brings high-grade radar detection capability to even the smallest platform, unlocking new tactical possibilities, shifting the paradigm in electronic warfare and enabling commanders to dominate the electromagnetic environment.
