Today’s naval platforms, both submarines and surface vessels, are facing a wide range of rapidly evolving,
increasingly sophisticated electromagnetic signals. Utilizing its decades of experience in the design and
manufacture of advanced SIGINT (RESM, ELINT, CESM and COMINT) systems, Elbit Systems EW and SIGINT –
Elisra (Elisra), has developed ultra-smart maritime EW, surveillance and intelligence collection solutions that
effectively detect, gather, identify and alert with respect to suspicious electromagnetic emissions in both open seas and littoral waters.
Distinguishing between threatening and non-threatening signals, these cutting-edge intelligence capabilities enable timely processing and immediate, maximized responses.
Elisra’s next generation surveillance and intelligence collection systems offer combined capabilities that
deliver a comprehensive, modular, flexible and future-ready solution successfully dealing with the most difficult EW challenges at sea, in the densest and most complex electromagnetic environments.
WONDER is a recent addition to Elisra’s family of naval EW systems – is a modular, fully digital, wideband
surveillance system that delivers both RESM and ELINT capabilities. Providing instantaneous 100% Probability
of Intercept (POI) for all signal types – including Pulse, Continuous Wave (CW) and Low Probability of
Intercept (LPI) signals – the system automatically detects, processes, identifies, records and displays radar emitter data to the operator.
TIMNEX III is a cutting-edge ESM/SIGINT system, based on RESM, ELINT, CESM and COMINT subsystems,
that provides an advanced and cost-effective Intelligence Collection System (ICS) to meet submarine intelligence requirements.
The system is capable of searching, detecting, intercepting, monitoring, measuring Direction of Arrival (DOA), recording and analyzing of all communication and radar signals.
The system covers the frequency spectrum using wideband and narrowband techniques. Sophisticated algorithms are initiated to analyze and classify the intercepted signals. The system handles complex signals including spread spectrum and advanced modulated communication and LPI signals, in dense electromagnetic (EM) environments.
