Electronic Warfare Live (EW Live) 2024 is on the horizon and the team is gearing up to deliver its series of live next-gen ESM demonstrations at Ülenurme Airport, Tartu, Estonia. NATO and NATO-friendly countries that have future requirements to improve their related capabilities will be in attendance, ready for hands-on experience of how ESROE’s latest breakthrough will change the way that ESM contributes to the safety of their armed forces in hostile environments, across air, land and sea battle spaces.

Demonstrating passive, resilient, battlefield arrays
Now, with as few as two networked sensors out in the field, ESROE’s multi-sensor solution deployment delivers threat geolocation capability. The ESM data captured by integrated and/or remote sensors – which can be placed across a range of platforms including UAVs – 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 scalable, 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.

Enabling ESM as a force multiplier, across domains
ESROE’s MicroESM solutions act as a force multiplier, across domains, to improve situational awareness of the total ELINT environment. Extending threat warning and covert surveillance capabilities to a wide range of platforms, including unmanned vehicles, system operators can penetrate deep into enemy defences, getting closer than ever previously possible to locate targets of interest and measure the characteristics of even low power radars that are invisible to longer range intelligence gathering systems.

A spinout from the UK’s Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, ESROE is recognised as at the forefront of electronic support measures (ESM) technology, having designed the world’s smallest sensor. From single sensors to a battlefield array, ESROE’s autonomous, next-gen ESM is available in a variety of modular configurations to meet user requirements, with each model sharing a core set of technical benefits and attributes.
