• PROGRAM: ITALIAN AIRFORCE HH-101 CAESAR
• PLATFORM: HH-101 CSAR
• MISSION: COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE, SPECIAL OPERATIONS
• REQUIREMENT: Combat Search And Rescue helicopter is performing missions in an operational environment marked by the presence of different threats. The EW suite, designed and delivered by ELT, is conceived to support any type of CSAR related operations, such as recovery of downed crews, infiltration and exfiltration of special OPS teams, humanitarian operations in warfare-like scenario.

No matter if the threat is coming from a radar-guided weapon system or an infrared-guided missile. The EW suite, consisting of Virgilius RWR\ESM\ECM and DIRCM ELT\572, is able to detect, identify and assess the presence of any type of threat and deliver the specific countermeasure to protect the platform and allow the accomplishment of the mission.

• PROGRAM: EUROFIGHTER
• PLATFORM: Eurofighter Typhoon
• MISSION: AIR SUPERIORITY, COMBAT AIR PATROL, AIR-TO-SURFACE COMBAT
• REQUIREMENT: The most advanced European fighter Jet, successfully delivered to and ordered by 8 Nations, relies for its mission protection on Praetorian. Praetorian is the EW Self-Protection Suite in which ELT is the Design Authority of the Electronic Attack component. Designed in close partnership with the EuroDASS consortium partner, it reached the 3^rd stage of its development and it is undergoing an important DASS Enhancement program in order to assure the EW protection against new generation radar threat. Field-proven in several operations, Praetorian is in constant evolution and supported by ELT and its EuroDASS partner across the Air Forces users of Typhoon.

• PROGRAM: ITALIAN AIRFORCE LIFT AIRPLANE
• PLATFORM: C-130J
• MISSION: TRANSPORT, PARATROOP, AIR REFUELLING, MEDICAL EVACUATION,
• REQUIREMENT: The “workhorse” of transport aircraft is well known by the users as Hercules. And like Hercules it has a strong force supported by special tools to protect himself from “harmful poisons”. Italian Air Force selected the ELT\572 Direct Infra-Red Counter Measures system to protect Hercules from MANPADS missile guided by infra-red emissions. ELT\572 is able to track the missile, once detected by the legacy MWS, and direct a jamming laser emission towards the missile head that is dazzled and diverted in its lethal course.

ELT\572 is integrated in the platform and delivers its status and activity information to the pilot’s cockpit with the required rapidity and efficiency.

• PROGRAM: MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) of the Italian MoD
• PLATFORM: ATR72
• MISSION: Surveillance, Threat Detection, Identification and Localisation in the Maritime Environment
• REQUIREMENT: EW System able to perform both Self-protection and Surveillance of the Maritime Area. The ELT system installed and already in service is named ELT-800 and it consists of a Wide Open Warning and Surveillance and a more specific advanced ELINT capability. The ELT-800 System cooperates with the aircraft DASS Sub/System, in order to provide detection and warning on unknown and/or hostile threats, and with the Mission System providing all information related to the Surveillance task, including identification and localization of the detected emissions.

• PROGRAM: Italy-France Naval Cooperation Program for AAW New generation Frigates
• PLATFORM: Frigate, n.2 Naval Units for Italy and n.2 for France
• MISSION: HVT (High Value Target) and Self-Protection
• REQUIREMENT: The EWS system installed and already in service is named NEWIS, tasked to provide   both self-surveillance of the Ship and protection of High Value Target HVT within a Naval Force. The EWS system is based on an extensive use of the latest technologies in the field of Active Phase Array Antennas with its RECM subsystem, named Nettuno 4100, allowing outstanding performances in jamming and deception of incoming threats.

• PROGRAM: Italian Navy New Carrier
• PLATFORM: Carrier
• MISSION: Self-Protection
• REQUIREMENT: The ELT system installed and already in service is named NEWIS and belongs to the same family of the Horizon Class but featured to grant the self-protection of a wide-size Naval Units like a Carrier. The EWS system allows highly effective countermeasures, through its active phase array subsystem Nettuno 4100, against incoming threats, and the surveillance and detection of the Maritime electro-magnetic environment.

• PROGRAM: Italy-France Naval Cooperation Program for AAW and General Purposes New generation    Frigates
• PLATFORM: Frigate, n.10 Naval Units for Italy and n.8 for France
• MISSION: HVT (High Value Target) and Self-Protection
• REQUIREMENT: The ELT EWS system installed and already in service is the latest development of the NEWIS system already provided for the Horizon Class and Cavour Carrier, tasked to provide both self-protection of the Ship and High Value Target HVT within a Naval Force. The EWS system is based on an extensive use of the latest technologies in the field of Active Phase Array Antennas, allowing outstanding performances in jamming and deception of incoming threats through its RECM Sub-System Nettuno 4100.

• PROGRAM: New Italian Navy program launched in December 2014.
• PLATFORM: Pattugliatori Polivalenti d’Altura (PPA), n.7 Naval Units
• MISSION: HVT (High Value Target) and Self-Protection
• REQUIREMENT: new family of EW Naval Suite as the most innovative proposal in the field of the Soft-Kill capability, conceived to fulfil the most stringent requirement of the Naval Electronic Defence both for Electronic Support and Electronic Attack employing the most advanced technologies. The integrated EW Suite provides RESM (Radar Electronic Support Counter-Measure) RECM (Radar Electronic Counter-Measure) based on GaN TRX Solid State modules and CESM (Communication ESM) granting effectiveness both in Blue Water and Littoral operation with an enhanced Maritime Surveillance and Situation Assessment through advanced ELINT and COMINT features, up to an innovative SEI algorithm. The ELT system installed and already in service is named ZEUS, designed and development on the basis of the ELT Virgilius family.
