Trusting the situational awareness picture to make the best judgement in a very fast-paced, saturated environment can only come from confidence in the accuracy of the data gathered by state-of-the-art sensors.
In the modern battlefield and especially on the surface battlefield, the awareness of the tactical situation can come mainly from the accuracy of the data collected by the latest technology sensors (from sea and air platforms).
To that end, Thales has been working, for the past five years, both to perfect its Radar Electronic Support Measures (RESM) sensors and on EW data processing techniques.
The technology used in RESM offers full spectrum wide-band digital signal processing, delivering, according to Thales, unrivalled probability of intercept.
Eliminating irrelevant signals, the information provides augmented accuracy to the real-time situational awareness picture. Complete with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analysis technologies, Thales’ EW Systems give Commanders the confidence they need by revealing any potential threat surrounding their platform or consorts.
EW is also, increasingly, about responding. This is instrumental to the concept of layered defence, giving the ability to use soft kill measures – like jamming and decoy – as part of the ship’s defence.

Efficiency in this context is about using an active decoy to improve the protection bubble around the asset or group of assets against upcoming threats.
As such, Thales has been working to develop an Off-Board Active Decoy (OBAD), starting with the Accolade UK-France Technology Development Program and continuing today with the investigation of different Conops as well as state-of-the-art electronics.
OBAD is a decoy allowing counter-measure programming, whose trajectory may be changed as the threat evolves.
“As we continue developing these systems, the idea is to develop a decoy that can be positioned ahead of key assets and activate soft kill countermeasures to counter potential threats,” noted Philip Ventress.
With systems such as the OBAD, Thales seeks to continue providing Commanders with a tactical edge over increasingly efficient threats.
