Electronic warfare (EW) systems are extremely important on the battlefield. However, choosing the appropriate technology can be difficult, since a multitude of options with various characteristics and purposes are presented on the market. In order to help you with the choice, below we will examine the main types of EW (dome, vehicle, and trench), as well as help to determine which of them will best suit your needs.

What is a trench EW?

A trench EW system is a technology developed for the defense of personnel and equipment in trench positions.

Features:

Mobility and adaptivity. The technology is quick to transport and place in trenches. This is critically important during combat operations.

Protection. With the help of remote antennas, you can keep the EW right in the trenches so as not to do it harm (the antennas can be extended out onto a tripod, a tree, and so on).

Antennas with directional and omnidirectional coverage. They effectively block signals in concrete directions and create interference over a large territory.

From us one can buy the EW of the “Hrets” series 3M, 3MTs, 4M and 5ML and 6M. They are perfectly suited for the military who work in active zones of conflict. 

What is a vehicle EW?

A vehicle EW is a technology that protects military and specialized vehicles from the attacks of drones during movement or while in place (installed on the roof (on the rails)).

Features:

Flexibility. The EW can be installed without problems on tanks, armored personnel carriers, APCs, ambulances, and other vehicles.

Speed of reaction. They can adapt to new threats and unpredictable situations on the battlefield in real-time mode.

Wide radius of action. They hinder the work of enemy UAVs thanks to the use of directional and omnidirectional antennas (at distances of from 30 to 500 m).

By the way, from us you can buy vehicle EWs that work in the range of from 350 MHz to 1050 MHz. These are in particular the models of the “Hrets” series — 3M, 4M, 3MTs, 5MTs, 5ML, and 6M.

What is a dome EW system?

A dome EW is a device intended for the guarding of military objects, equipment, strategic infrastructure, and so on.

Features:

Mobility and adaptivity. The system is easy to install and configure on the battlefield, in a vehicle, or directly in cover. 

Protection in the form of a “dome”. The quadrifilar antennas used in the system create an effective barrier (“dome”) that protects from all sides.

Resilience to external impacts. Thanks to the construction of the “dome”, the systems are resistant to unfavorable weather conditions and other external factors (strong wind, snow, sand, and so on).

By the way, from us you can buy an EW of the dome type of the “Hrets” series 4M and 3M.

What are the differences between the modifications of EW?

The main differences between these systems consist in their mobility, types of application, and levels of protection. A trench EW ensures high effectiveness directly in conditions of combat operations, a vehicle one — mobility and protection during the movement of military and specialized vehicles, a dome EW — a high level of protection of critical infrastructure, military units, ammunition depots, and so on.

Conclusion.

Overall, the choice of the correct EW system depends on your goals: for the guarding of transport columns and frequent changes of location, vehicle systems are suitable, for the protection of important objects or bases — dome ones, and for the guarding of military units in conditions of active combat operations — trench ones.
