Finland’s Patria is supplying two European NATO member states with the ARIS electronic intelligence (ELINT) system.

The relevant announcement, according to the company, was made on February 2, 2024, but the company has not named the countries concerned.

The ARIS ELINT system enables its user to collect information about the signals from radars and other radio transmitters of enemy parties. The system can be also used to detect, locate and identify hostile systems using radar and to generate detailed identification information based on radar emissions: a vital capability in the modern battlefield’s electronic warfare domain.

According to the manufacturer, ARIS utilises the latest receiver and signal processing technologies to ensure that even the most advanced threats do not have the opportunity to “hide” in a jammed or overloaded signal environment. 

The system consists of a sensor network, servers to analyse the data and create situational awareness and user interfaces that enable centralised operation or remote access, including the software required for operational use.

According to Patria, the company provides each client with a customised overall solution, from the antennas to the signals intelligence databases, and offers support and updates for the entire lifecycle of the system.

Complementing Patria’s ARIS ELINT system is the company’s ARIS-E remotely operable electronic support measures/ELINT system, which offers automatic functionality and tactical situational awareness by leveraging the existing Patria ARIS framework.
