In
the field of Maritime Patrol, Elettronica is delivering the new Elt/800
system (displayed at hall 2 stand k70) for the new MPA of the Italia
MoD based on the ATR72 platform, The ELT 800 represents an innovative
approach to EW equipment development for fixed and rotary wing applications
and provides a superior product based on a Wide Open and SH Digital
Receiver architecture through a unique system design and advanced technologies. |
The system
allows Tactical Surveillance (ESM function) and highly accurate data
processing for intelligence analysis purposes (ELINT function). ELINT
systems are becoming a vital asset for the successful outcome of complex
military operations providing an intelligence gathering capability over
a wide electromagnetic signal domain, to identify emitters, ensure coverage
of areas of interest and locate emitters. The modular design approach
allows optimum configuration adaptation to individual aircraft and helo
classes. The Elt/800 was also selected for the Bombardier Q300 (MPA),
maritime patrol aircraft with specific reconnaissance and border surveillance
tasks of a country’s coastal areas and littoral waters. |
The future
of Maritime Surveillance moves towards a more intensive use of unmanned
platform as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle); also commonly known as drones,
they will soon be employed on- board of Military Ships. Elettronica
is already developing a family of products for tactical UAV versions,
that will enable these platforms to perform surveillance and interception
of the emissions present in the e.m. environment.In particular, Elettronica’s
design approach focuses on ensuring a full EW capability, not only in
terms of sensors and Suite, but also concerning all the related tools
to meeet the operational requirements, including EW Command & Control,
cyber defence, high operational availability and sustainable life-cycle
costs. |
