The Thales air wideband digital R-ESM systems provide enhanced capabilities for the detection, identification and geolocation of radar emissions in dense electromagnetic environment.

OUR STRENGTHS

Master the electromagnetic spectrum

Thales digital R-ESM provides optimal detection and identification of radars in operational theatres. It reduces the risk of spectral ambiguity, enables better characterization of the forces involved, and delivers optimized friend-or-foe discrimination.
Face the new threats

The R-ESM, leveraging advanced digital processing technologies, is able to extract all signals of interest of new radars, such as multifunction active antenna radars.
Adapt to all conditions

Thales wideband R-ESM ensures a consistently high Probability of Interception (100%) of threats in new conditions of electromagnetic spectrum use (agile onboard transmitters and densification of communications signals, 4G, 5G, 6G).
Evolve continuously

To address the growing complexity of waveforms and evolving theatres of operation, the software-defined, open architecture of the R-ESM enables seamless integration of capacity upgrades and agile adaptation of processes. It is designed to ensure enhanced availability and sustainability.

Beyond the invisible spectrum, tangible EW solutions

Wideband digital technology redefines R-ESM capability and operations. It offers real-time situational awareness information globally in any theatre. Digital data can be processed quickly and in detail, providing enhanced insight to assess, inform and plan operations.

The electromagnetic congestion creates noise, compromising analogue Radar Electronic Support Measures (R-ESM) performance. Thales digital R-ESM enables military command to prepare joint operations based on adversary intentions and capabilities inferred from their use of the electromagnetic spectrum. It ensures the effectiveness of self-protection systems, guaranteeing the survivability of troops.
