OVERVIEW
IAI’s Compact V/UHF 3D RF Location System (ELK-7065VU ComDart) is an RF-based ESM solution that enables instantaneous geo-location of hostiles’ communications using a single aerial platform. The system provides advanced situational awareness and delivers critical real-time target information for ground forces operating in complex environments.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Instantaneous geo-location from a single platform, including short burst PTT transmissions
- Advanced proprietary design for VSA
- Operates in open terrain as well as in dense urban and GNSS denied environment
- Small Form Factor (SFF) and easily fitted on various types of aerial platforms
Values & Benefits
Geo-location is achieved through a single, small form factor, Vector Sensor Antenna (VSA). The VSA design is proprietary technology developed solely by ELTA, and its construction enables concurrent measurement of elevation and azimuth from received RF waves.
While other technologies require multiple antennas on one or more platforms for geolocation, ELTA’s solution delivers instantaneous geo-location from a single antenna on a single platform.
The system is easy to operate and fast to deploy. Once activated, it instantaneously detects communication transmissions across VHF and UHF frequencies, with geolocation displayed on a detailed map on the Operator Control Unit (OCU).
With its capability of detecting transmissions instantaneously in both open terrain and dense urban areas, even short burst PTT (Push-to-Talk) transmissions can be identified and accurately located.
