Euronaval Online 2020: Rafael presents C-GEM and SEWS-DV Naval Electronic Warfare combat systems.

At Euronaval Online, the digital edition of Euronaval 2020, International naval defense and maritime security industry exhibition, Rafael presents C-GEM and SEWS-DV Electronic Warfare (EW) combat systems. Israeli company Rafael has developed naval EW (Electronic Warfare) solutions that support all EW related tasks of the modern naval combat vessel.

Electronic Protection via onboard, off-board ECM and decoys, and Electronic Attack, Rafael provides a comprehensive and integrated EW solution. Assisted by AI algorithms, such solutions enable automatic or minimum man-in-the-loop operation of all EW tasks onboard the combat vessel.

The C-GEM™ was designed to deceive the most advanced seekers of modern Anti-Ship Missiles (ASM). Modern coherent radar seekers employ Chaff and Corner Reflector discrimination algorithms, mostly based on range/Doppler analysis of the targets.

The C-GEM™ rocket is launched from the combat vessel and generates a legitimate and attractive target within seconds from the detection of the ASM. The C-GEM™ rocket can be integrated into any decoy launching system, installed or planned to be installed on a combat vessel.

The C-GEM is highly effective against current and new generation anti-ship missiles (ASMs). Modern tracking radar seeker missiles exploit the principle of mono-pulse and lock-on receive only (LORO) techniques to track marine platforms. Many of these radars incorporate chaff identification and discrimination capabilities. C-GEM generates robust, essential techniques necessary to defeat these advanced threats, both semi-active radar systems and autonomous threat seekers—and it’s cost-effective to use.

SEWS-DV™ incorporates state-of-the-art technologies such as C-PEARL-DV™ digital wide-band, multi-bit receivers that directly sample RF and automatically analyze radar signals. Integrated with the C-PEARL-DV is Digital-Shark Digital RF memory ECM which incorporates Solid-State Array Transmitters (SSAT) with Gallium Nitride (GaN) based amplifiers, which achieves exceptional reliability, high Effective Radiated Power (ERP) and enables simultaneous handling of multiple ASM threats over the 6-40GHz frequency band.
