Electronic Protection via onboard, off-board ECM and decoys, and Electronic Attack, Rafael provides a comprehensive and integrated EW solution. Assisted by AI algorithms, such solutions enable automatic or minimum man-in-the-loop operation of all EW tasks onboard the combat vessel.

The C-GEM™ was designed to deceive the most advanced seekers of modern Anti-Ship Missiles (ASM). Modern coherent radar seekers employ Chaff and Corner Reflector discrimination algorithms, mostly based on range/Doppler analysis of the targets.

The C-GEM™ rocket is launched from the combat vessel and generates a legitimate and attractive target within seconds from the detection of the ASM. The C-GEM™ rocket can be integrated into any decoy launching system, installed or planned to be installed on a combat vessel.

The C-GEM is highly effective against current and new generation anti-ship missiles (ASMs). Modern tracking radar seeker missiles exploit the principle of mono-pulse and lock-on receive only (LORO) techniques to track marine platforms. Many of these radars incorporate chaff identification and discrimination capabilities. C-GEM generates robust, essential techniques necessary to defeat these advanced threats, both semi-active radar systems and autonomous threat seekers—and it’s cost-effective to use.

SEWS-DV™ incorporates state-of-the-art technologies such as C-PEARL-DV™ digital wide-band, multi-bit receivers that directly sample RF and automatically analyze radar signals. Integrated with the C-PEARL-DV is Digital-Shark Digital RF memory ECM which incorporates Solid-State Array Transmitters (SSAT) with Gallium Nitride (GaN) based amplifiers, which achieves exceptional reliability, high Effective Radiated Power (ERP) and enables simultaneous handling of multiple ASM threats over the 6-40GHz frequency band.
