Overview

Persistent Electronic Awareness Without Emitting a Signal

The ESM-360 system is a compact, high-performance electronic support measures (ESM) system that enables operators to rapidly detect, identify and locate a wide range of radar signal types. Based on mature, proven technology like SNC’s TRL 9-rated AE-4500 Auto ESM system, delivering detection, collection and direction-finding capabilities to enhance platform situational awareness and survivability.

MISSION APPLICATIONS

High-Performance ESM

The ESM-360 supports missions across small airborne assets, maritime platforms, surface vehicles, remote sites and autonomous systems via two system variants. The ESM-360A system provides 0.5 to 40 GHz coverage for airborne platforms and the ESM-360G system is used for ground mobile, ground fixed site and small maritime vessels.

ESM-360 Airborne

Frequency Coverage of 0.5 to 40 GHz
Uses four Single Element Antenna Assemblies (SEAA) arranged to provide 360-degree instantaneous azimuth coverage
Designed for remote control operation, providing situational awareness data over line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) datalinks
Operates with the AE-4500 ESM system, providing additional detection and direction-finding coverage to the nose and tail sectors
Two ESM systems provide data over a narrowband datalink to a common, map-based graphical user interface, delivering real-time situational awareness

ESM-360 Ground

Frequency Coverage of 2 to 18 GHz
Uses one Quadrature Antenna Assembly (QAA) to provide 360-degree instantaneous azimuth coverage
Enables radio frequency (RF) situational awareness of threat radars
Installed on antenna masts, mobile shelter systems, buildings and other areas of high elevation around the world

360° OF RF AWARENESS. ZERO BLIND SPOTS.
