Digital Shark was showcased at EURONAVAL 2024

Date:

Haifa, Israel: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems announced that it has secured a contract to supply vessels of a NATO country with the latest generation of its Digital Shark Naval Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) Systems. This advanced, system will provide NATO fleets with unparalleled capabilities to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum for both defensive and offensive operations. The Digital Shark system was showcased at EURONAVAL 2024 when the contract was first announced.

Rafael’s Digital Shark system represents the forefront of naval Electronic Warfare (EW) technology, engineered to identify and neutralise complex radar threats autonomously. With its digital receiver, the system can detect a wide range of radar threats, from missile seekers to designation radars. Once a threat is detected, Digital Shark can respond autonomously and instantaneously by directing high-power electromagnetic beams to disrupt the radar’s function, rendering it ineffective.

The 3rd Generation Digital Shark employs an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) that allows for rapid and precise beam steering and a high-power jammer for robust offensive countermeasures. Additionally, it incorporates advanced Digital RF Memory (DRFM) technology, enhancing its ability to deceive and neutralise even the most sophisticated radar systems.

The Digital Shark ECM system joins Rafael’s growing portfolio of naval EW countermeasure solutions, which includes the C-GEM active decoy, further solidifying Rafael’s position as a leading provider of next-generation naval defence solutions. Together, these capabilities offer comprehensive protection, equipping naval forces with the tools necessary to maintain a tactical edge in complex maritime environments.

VP Ran Tavor, Head of Naval Systems Division, RAFAEL commented, “Rafael is honoured to support a NATO member with the Digital Shark ECM system, reinforcing our commitment to pioneering innovation in naval electronic warfare and ensuring the resilience and superiority of our allies at sea. The Digital Shark’s capabilities not only elevate electronic defence but also bolster offensive responses, adapting to the diverse challenges presented by today’s advanced radar threats.”
