Hensoldt jamming system proves effectiveness against radars of various types​


Sensor solution provider Hensoldt has completed extensive ground and field tests with its "Kalaetron Attack" jamming system, confirming its effectiveness against enemy air defence radars of various types.

Measurements in various operationally relevant scenarios show that "Kalaetron Attack" can detect even the latest air defence radars and interfere with them by means of precisely directed jamming signals.

The effectiveness and responsiveness of the system is also based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, which enable the classification of unknown threats in the field and the rapid evaluation of large amounts of data. In doing so, the many years of in-depth experience in the development of jamming approaches against radars were profitably combined with the latest approaches of the Edge AI approach.

"Control of the electromagnetic spectrum is an essential prerequisite for information superiority, and thus the success of military missions and the protection of one's own soldiers," says Celia Pelaz, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of the Spectrum Dominance Division at Hensoldt. "Kalaetron Attack also makes it possible to deny the enemy the use of this spectrum - for air defence, for example".

The jamming system is part of Hensoldt's fully digital 'Kalaetron' product family, which is used in self-protection and signal reconnaissance systems in the German armed forces, among others. In addition to cognitive software elements, the core elements are a fully digitised, broadband sensor and an electronically controllable jammer. Metallic 3D printing enabled a condensed design of the electronic components so that the jammer can be easily integrated into pod formats commonly used worldwide or directly into various flying platforms. Kalaetron Attack, as an escort jammer for the Eurofighter, therefore provides the Luftwaffe with the timely capability transfer of the ECR Tornado and, at the same time, expands the capabilities of the Eurofighter by the urgently required component of electronic warfare (escort jamming) in modern operational scenarios. Due to its scalability, the system can also be used in land- or ship-based applications.

I sometimes wonder about these explanations. I mean, this seat is not new, or even nearly new. Something does not make sense.

The US Navy, on its part, as per a statement from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) on July 26, identified the malfunctioning component as the Cartridge Actuated Device (CAD) on the MB Mk.14 seats.

The MB Mk.14 is also installed on the T-45 Goshawk and F-5 Tiger II trainers.

“After being notified of potential defect by the vendor, Martin-Baker, the team used validated radiography procedures to scan on-hand inventory to verify each item was properly manufactured before sending to the fleet to replace existing CADs. The CAD will be replaced at the aircraft’s assigned squadron and the aircraft will be inspected before its next flight,” said the NAVAIR statement.

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

Reminds me of F-15 fast pack concepts. Where did you get that image from?

Rafale use Mk16F models F-35 Mk16E. Texan MK16LA and F-18 and T-45 Mk14. So, the Mark model isn't seemingly evident here.

The seats and cartridges for the Rafale are produced in France so it's probably not the same batches of cartridges that we use.

Yeah, but who makes the cartridges for them? They are not made by Martin-Baker.

You may be right, I don't have time to do research, but except for extremely standard components, the rule for the Rafale is that everything must be built in France, because the plane is considered "strategic" due to its nuclear mission.

I think it is only the explosive cartridges that were faulty (bad batch).
