With its breakthrough technology and unmatched operational heritage, Scorpius-SPJ significantly enhances aircraft survivability and mission success, ensuring dominance and protection in today’s modern, threat-saturated skies.
OVERVIEW
Scorpius-SPJ (ELL-8222SB) is an advanced airborne Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) system designed for aircraft self-protection. It detects and jams the full array of sophisticated Air-to-Air (A/A) and Surface-to-Air (S/A) threats prevalent in today’s combat environments, providing unmatched protection and mission assurance.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Spatial receiving and transmitting
- Automatic and autonomous directional ECM response
- Exceptionally high RF sensitivity and effective radiated power (ERP)
- Simultaneous focused response to multiple emitters from different directions
Scorpius-SPJ employs the groundbreaking Staring Multibeam AESA (Active Electronic Scanned Array) technology to achieve unprecedented electromagnetic spectrum superiority. Unlike legacy AESA systems, it simultaneously generates hundreds of narrowly focused beams in all directions, allowing it to continuously monitor the surrounding sky and ground, and to detect and jam multiple targets at once – each using independent frequencies and EW techniques.
The Staring Multibeam AESA technology dramatically increases receiver sensitivity and Effective Radiated Power (ERP) compared to legacy systems. This enables Scorpius-SPJ to detect and jam threatening targets at significantly greater ranges, ensuring superior situational awareness and protection in dense threat environments.
Built upon ELTA’s market-leading ELL-8222 self-protection system, Scorpius-SPJ benefits from decades of operational experience across hundreds of aircraft and global air forces. Designed as a compact, lightweight, and low-drag pod similar in contour to an A/A missile, it can be mounted on outer wing stations of fighter aircraft and other platforms. Its modular design allows for easy transfer between aircraft, providing wide operational and logistical flexibility.
