The German companies Plath and Aeromaritime present their combined solution at Euronaval 2016 72110162.

During the surface phase the system collects and records all tasked signals of interest automatically, while the system provides real-time C-ESM (Communication Electronic Support Measures) early warning indications. The time-consuming COMINT-related (Communication Intelligence) pre-evaluation and analysis of the collected signals can be done later, offline in the sub-surface phase.

The system is designed to provide mission-essential C-ESM early warning capabilities, e.g. automatic rapid indication of threatening communication signals on air (submarine hunter COMMS frequencies etc.).

In addition, the solution also provides extensive omni-directional COMINT capabilities, which can be pre-tasked (sub-surface) and executed automatically in the limited surface time-frame. The combination of C-ESM and COMINT adds a significant value to the maritime situational picture, in real-time and also offline.
