Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is pleased to announce a contract to supply vessels of a  NATO country with the latest generation of its Digital Shark Naval Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) Systems. This advanced, system will provide NATO fleets with unparalleled capabilities to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum for both defensive and offensive operations. The Digital Shark system was showcased at EURONAVAL 2024.

Rafael's Digital Shark system is engineered to identify and neutralize complex radar threats autonomously. With its digital receiver, the system is capable of detecting a wide range of radar threats, from missile seekers to designation radars. Once a threat is detected, Digital Shark can respond autonomously and instantaneously by directing high-power electromagnetic beams to disrupt the radar’s function, rendering it ineffective.

The 3rd Generation Digital Shark employs an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) that allows for rapid and precise beam steering and a high-power jammer for robust offensive countermeasures. Additionally, it incorporates advanced Digital RF Memory (DRFM) technology, enhancing its ability to deceive and neutralize even the most sophisticated radar systems.
