Scorpius can combat a range of threats, including UAVs, ships, missiles, and radar systems
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unveiled on Thursday a family of new electronic warfare (EW) systems called Scorpius, which reportedly will revolutionize electronic warfare.
According to IAI, Scorpius has the capability of combating a range of threats, including UAVs, ships, missiles, and radar systems, The Jerusalem Post (The Post) reported.
The latest Israeli EW system scans an entire surrounding area for targets before deploying focused beams that interfere with threats across the electromagnetic spectrum.
In doing so, electromagnetic networks - radar, electronic sensors, navigation, and data communications - are effectively disrupted.
With unprecedented receiver sensitivity and transmission power, it can detect and deal with multiple and various threats simultaneously from much further distances than before, The Post reported.
Gideon Fustick, Marketing Vice President of the EW Group at IAI, said that the system intends to convey "the sense of an innocuous thing that actually has a very powerful sting.”
