OVERVIEW
Scorpius-N (ELL-8256SB) is a state-of-the-art long-distance RF Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) system for naval vessels. It intercepts, analyzes, locates, tracks, and jams a wide variety of airborne, shipborne, and shore-based systems including fire control radars, search radars, AEW sensors, SAR, and missile seekers. Based on advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology with Gallium-Nitride (GaN) Solid State Amplifiers (SSA), Scorpius-N offers exceptional receiver sensitivity and Effective Radiated Power (ERP), enabling detection and degradation of enemy radars even through side lobes and significantly increasing jamming effectiveness.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Real-time creation of EOB (Electronic Order of Battle)
- Multi-beam, multi-jamming techniques
- Ultra-high sensitivity and high ERP
- Sophisticated jamming techniques using Digital RF Memory (DRFM)
- Ability to track and intercept Low-Probability-of-Intercept (LPI) Radars
- Minimal effect on vessel Radar Cross Section (RCS)
- Modular structure allowing for easy maintenance
- Real-time training mod
Values & Benefits
The system’s AESA design features narrow, simultaneous multi-beam operation, providing unprecedented sensitivity and the ability to target multiple threats individually.
Scorpius-N can detect very low signals and simultaneously jam numerous emitters across its entire frequency range while covering a wide geographic sector, displaying an Electronic Order of Battle (EOB). Driven by a pre-programmed Mission Data File (MDF), it can operate automatically.
The system comprises four conformally-mounted panels on the central mast, minimizing the vessel’s Radar Cross-Section (RCS) through the small AESA array size, conformal installation, and a single aperture for all ESM and ECM functions.
Scorpius-N operates independently, providing enhanced ESM and ECM capabilities without relying on other ship systems.
