C-ESM, COMINT and Jamming

Modern warfare systems and warfighting doctrines rely on the availability of the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS). The domination of the EMS and its exploitation is critical to achieving tactical and strategic mission objectives, on land, at sea and in the air. On top of that, the continuous surveillance of the EMS is vital for protecting the platform against the drone threat.

LOG.IN EW solutions provide C-ESM (Communications Electronic Support Measure), COMINT (Communications Intelligence), ECM (Electronic Counter Measures), Spectrum Recording and Counter-UAS capabilities for Land and Naval EW applications.

C-ESM Capability

The C-ESM capability enables surveillance of communications and radio signals during COMINT and SIGINT missions to increase tactical and strategic situation awareness.

Key Features of LOG.IN C-ESM sensors

  • Automatic wide-band spectrum surveillance based on programmable EW libraries
  • High-accuracy wide-band Direction Finding
  • Automatic wide-band signal classification to intercept agile signals
  • Automatic Target Signals identification
  • Software Defined Radio architecture

COMINT Capability

The COMINT capability enables the narrow-band analysis, classification, demodulation and decoding of the target signals intercepted by the C-ESM. The C-ESM and the COMINT receiver typically operate simultaneously to ensure continuous spectrum monitoring.

LOG.IN Spectrum Monitoring Suite allows decoding about 500 different types of signals, including Professional Mobile Radio (such as TETRA and DMR) and military signals.

LOG.IN COMINT receivers can demodulate and decode multiple target signals in parallel. In a scenario with several signals, the recording and look-back features reduce the operator’s workload and ensure no signals are left behind.

ECM Capability

The ECM capability enables the jamming of communications, navigation and radio signals (including those of drones).

LOG.IN manufactures wide-band jammers that can typically operate in the frequency range 20-6000 MHz and jam multiple bands simultaneously. Depending on the antenna configuration, they can jam multiple transmitters in different directions.

The Software Defined Radio architecture enables the generation of virtually any jamming waveform, including barrage and frequency sweeps. It also allows the user to import and use its jamming waveforms.

LOG.IN jammers can be controlled through their GUI or connected to an Intercept & DF sensor, such as a C-ESM sensor, to select the most effective jamming waveform and concentrate the power toward the transmitter/drone.

Radio Spectrum Recording Capability

The Radio Spectrum Recording capability allows the recording of wide-band portions of the spectrum in the field and playback later to extract the signals of interest. LOG.IN Spectrum Recorders support various applications, including undercover signal intelligence, strategic SIGINT and COMINT and ITU-R spectrum measurements. The recorders have a ruggedised built to be operated outdoors or left unmanned in the field wherever the reception of the target signals is optimal. Extracted signals may be used to feed third-party decryption/decoding systems or be imported into LOG.IN Spectrum Simulators for Verification & Validation and training.

Counter-UAS Capability

The ECM capability enables the jamming of communications, navigation and radio signals (including those of drones).

LOG.IN manufactures wide-band jammers that can typically operate in the frequency range 20-6000 MHz and jam multiple bands simultaneously. Depending on the antenna configuration, they can jam multiple transmitters in different directions.

Land EW Suite

The Land EW Suite has been designed to provide C-ESM, COMINT and ECM capabilities in a single tactical system, typically operating over the 1-6000 MHz frequency range. The equipment of the suite can be easily transported and deployed by dismounted Light EW Teams. Alternatively, they can be installed on a tactical vehicle to support the EW activities of Medium EW Teams. The equipment is built according to military standards (such as the MIL-STD-810) and can be powered using multiple sources, including BB-2590 NATO standard batteries.

The suite can be used as a stand-alone system or as a Communications Surveillance network with multiple monitoring nodes and geolocation capability.

Last, the Land EW Suite can intercept and geolocalise drones and their remote controllers, enabling the Force Protection capability against C-UAS attacks.

Maritime EW Suite

The Maritime EW Suite provides C-ESM, COMINT, ECM and Counter-Drone capabilities in a single modular system. The Maritime EW Suite typically monitors the frequency range 1-6000 MHz. The standard configuration includes one C-ESM sensor with DF capability, one COMINT receiver and one jammer. The configuration can be modified and expanded to meet various operational requirements. The units of the Maritime EW Suite are built according to military standards to be installed and operated in harsh marine climate. LOG.IN understands the complexity of installing antennas on board a ship. Therefore we can offer an extensive catalogue of COTS antennas which can fit various installation layouts.
