Giving pilots the upper Hand in the Electromagnetic Battle
Flying modern fighter aircraft is an extreme challenge. Doing it in a mission environment where pilots and fighters face increasingly advanced threats, the challenge becomes even greater. How do you gain a competitive advantage and arm pilots with both the means and the confidence to detect, deceive and counter such threats?
The modern battlefield has become a complex electromagnetic arena where dominance is won not just through physical prowess but also through control of the invisible spectrum. A silent war rages within the electromagnetic spectrum – a complex realm of radar signals, communication frequencies and electronic countermeasures. In this arena, Arexis Electronic Warfare (EW) system stands as a game-changer, empowering fighter pilots with unparalleled situational awareness and survivability.
Imagine a fighter jet hurtling through the air, enveloped in a sphere of electromagnetic energy. This sphere, filled with signals from friendly and hostile forces alike, is the battleground where Arexis excels.
Arexis acts as both shield and sword within this electromagnetic sphere. It leverages advanced AI and cutting-edge gallium nitride antenna technology to constantly monitor and analyze the entire spectrum. This allows it to detect and identify a wide range of threats, from enemy radar systems to missile guidance signals, with remarkable speed and accuracy.
But Arexis doesn't just detect, it disrupts.
Through sophisticated jamming techniques, it can effectively blind enemy radar, rendering their targeting systems useless. Simultaneously, it deploys deceptive tactics, creating electronic decoys and false signals that mislead adversaries, buying precious time and creating opportunities for the pilot.
This ability to control and manipulate the electromagnetic sphere gives pilots a decisive advantage. Former Gripen pilot and Saab advisor Jussi Halmetoja emphasizes the importance of such situational awareness: "In a contested environment, knowing what's happening around you is crucial. Arexis provides that edge, allowing pilots to see first, understand first, and act first."
Arexis's escort jamming capability allows pilots to penetrate heavily defended airspace, operating within the threat range of enemy air defenses. Its suppression capabilities actively disturb and deceive adversaries, creating windows of opportunity for successful mission execution.
The system's AI-powered intelligence minimizes the workload on pilots, allowing them to focus on their primary objective. Arexis automatically analyzes the electromagnetic landscape, identifies threats, and deploys countermeasures, ensuring continuous protection even for entire tactical units.
With Arexis, Saab has redefined air superiority. It's not just about flying faster or maneuvering better; it's about controlling the invisible battlefield of the electromagnetic spectrum. Arexis empowers pilots to dominate this realm, ensuring their survival and mission success in the face of increasingly sophisticated electronic threats.
