Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) released a new electronic warfare system which provides an added layer of self-defense for aircraft. The system, developed by IAI's intelligence subsidiary ELTA Group, is hauled by the aircraft, protecting it by acting as a distractor to radar-guided missiles. The new hauled "bait," named ELL-8270, will be displayed at the Singapore Airshow next week.
The ELL-8270 is differentiated from other solutions in being completely autonomous, which means it needs no power or signals from the leading aircraft and is hauled behind with a simple cord. During flights in areas threatened by enemy missiles, the bait is deployed at a safe distance from the leading aircraft and emits signals to attract the missile, away from the aircraft. The system is capable of handling several threats simultaneously, can be used by all aircraft types, is extremely lightweight and can be rolled back into the aircraft or abandoned, if necessary.
The system is effective against all radar-guided missiles. As such, it serves as the last layer of protection after all previous defenses had failed and a missile had been launched towards the aircraft.
The ELL-8270 joins to the ELL-8212 and ELL-8222 self-defense pods, the ELL-8265 advanced warning and positioning systems, the ELL-8260 integrative self-protection suits, and more.
