Recently supplied to the military of a Southeast Asian country, these cutting-edge systems are poised to redefine protection strategies for convoys and manoeuvring forces in dynamic combat environments. What sets the MC-2000 VRF-5G apart is its unparalleled ability to counter a diverse array of RF threats, including remotely operated explosive devices (RCIED), drones, and more. Unlike conventional systems, the MC-2000 VRF-5G doesn't just disrupt communication channels; it tactically opens discreet communication windows for manoeuvring forces, enabling seamless coordination on the move. Covering an extensive range of frequencies encompassing VHF/UHF, cellular networks (including the latest 5G technology), Wi-Fi signals, GNSS, and satellite and drone communication, these systems provide comprehensive protection against all RF threats within the operational area. One of the key advantages lies in its vehicle-installed configuration, facilitating rapid deployment and mobility. This feature proves invaluable in military operations characterized by fluid and complex environments, where agility and adaptability are paramount. Ido Bar Oz at MCTECH, emphasizes the significance of this advancement, stating, "The contemporary and future battlefield demands a paradigm shift in electronic warfare strategies. With emerging threats such as smart munitions, drones, UAVs, and RF-guided missiles, there's a critical need for more robust defense mechanisms. The MC-2000 VRF-5G represents a monumental leap forward, offering enhanced blocking capabilities against a wide spectrum of threats while ensuring operational communication superiority." Indeed, with the MC-2000 VRF-5G, MCTECH RF Technologies has not only delivered a state-of-the-art solution but has also heralded a new era in electronic warfare, empowering militaries to navigate and dominate the modern battlefield with unprecedented confidence and resilience.

Elbit Systems recently conducted a field demonstration of their ReDrone #CUAS system. Elbit has developed a proprietary Smart Machine algorithm that can identify unknown #drone RF transmissions, enhancing the system’s effectiveness against evolving threats. The system’s RF #Jamming subsystem employs a combination of wideband SDR units and high-power amplifiers to neutralize communication between the drone and its operator, as well as its #navigation system (#GNSS) for those operating autonomously. This capability disrupts hostile drones’ ability to carry out their missions effectively. The ReDrone’s #radar, operating in the X-Band (9-10 GHz), utilizes advanced Software Defined #AESA technology equipped with #ArtificialIntelligence capabilities. This radar system can detect, identify, and track thousands of objects simultaneously, including agile, compact targets, with real-time performance.

Very interesting read from Sean Harper and #WarQuants on the use of First Person View (FPV) Drones and other Unmanned Aerial Systems (AUS) in Syria and how such systems change the dynamics and tactics on the modern battlefield. The same effects are observable in our Wargames, all the way from initial buildup of picture to creating combined arms effects through the coordination of UAS and maneuvered units. #dronewars #wargaming

Elsight explores how uninterrupted and secure communication can be maintained in military operations using civilian networks, multilink drones, and the company’s HALO tech >> 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q02_LN3n0 Communications Security (COMSEC) protects sensitive data through encryption, strict communication protocols, and safeguarded keying materials. Yet, in the chaos of combat, ensuring uninterrupted and secure communication remains a constant challenge. The consequences of a COMSEC breach can be catastrophic. A compromised communication link could expose troop movements, disrupt logistics, or even jeopardize entire missions. Elsight - UAV & UGV Connection Confidence's Halo-powered drones exemplify the future of emergency military communication. By integrating commercial technologies into tactical operations, militaries can maintain secure and reliable communication channels, safeguarding mission success and the lives of those in the field. 👏 ➡️ Visit the Unmanned Systems Technology website for further information.

The proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is transforming conflicts, both ashore and afloat. UAVs are increasingly used for kinetic and non-kinetic attacks, along with their primary intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) mission. Attack UAVs – in function effectively cruise missiles – have been extensively used in the Red Sea, Syria and Iraq, Nagorno-Karabakh and Ukraine and over the weekend in the 300-plus flights from Iran targeted at Israel; a United Kingdom Ministry of Defence intelligence update on Ukraine on 1 November 2023 described them as “one of the most effective new capabilities”. The counter-UAV (C-UAV) target set is often slow, low-observable, operating at low altitude and often amid ground clutter, and, above all, cheaper and easier to deploy than the surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) that can intercept them. Then-Marine General Kenneth McKenzie Jr., commanding US Central Command (CENTCOM), said in a speech to the Middle East Institute in Washington on 7 February 2021, “The growing threat posed by these systems, coupled with our lack of dependable, networked capabilities to counter them, is the most concerning tactical development.” C-UAV is not limited to niche or specialised assets, but overlaps with integrated air and missile defence (IAMD) and indirect fire protection capability (IFPC), the latter focussing on the counter – rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) mission. All three mission areas focus on active defence – defeating threats after launch – but also include attack operations and passive defence, all made possible by BM/C4I (battle management/command, control, communications, computers and intelligence). As with IAMD and ICPC, no single, affordable ‘silver bullet’ solution for C-UAV is possible. Rather, an effective architecture integrates disparate systems across service and national lines. #cuav #counterdrones #drones #uav #uas ##iamd #ew European Security & Defence, Pravo Consulting
