The EW Solution for the End-Game Phase of Air Defense Systems
Benefits In today’s increasingly complex In the retraction phase, the decoy battlespace environments, effective is returned to its position under the Offboard, retractable, fast-deploy, protection against air defense systems aircraft's wing and re-connected with low-drag, lightweight is critical for fighter aircraft survival. the pylon. Lures air defense systems away from Though threat detection capabilities are Low-drag and lightweight, X-GUARD aircraft improving, there is a growing need for can be used in all operational missions active EW missile defense. Increases missile’s miss distance to counter air-to-air and surface-to-air dramatically X-GUARD™ is a cutting-edge towed missiles. decoy solution for defeating advanced Increases mission success rate and The system is certified to 4th generation tracking radar, including monopole and aircraft survivability fighter flight envelope, from low level Lobe-On-Receive-Only (LOBO) radar to flight ceiling, and from subsonic to Supports 4th generation aircraft flight types. Towed behind the fighter aircraft, supersonic velocity. envelope X-GUARD is deployable and retractable mid-flight. The decoy can be integrated Multiple use of single decoy lowers with the EW suite of any platform as procurement quantities, life cycle a high-value active suite component. costs Easily adapted to any operational X-GUARD can be deployed either when aircraft the aircraft approaches a threatened area or upon detection of an imminent Mountable to air-to-air or air-to- threat. ground weapon stations Deployed far from the aircraft, the Standard process for integrating decoy can be reused multiple times, X-GUARD with aircraft’s embedded making it exceptionally cost-effective, as well as preventing enemy inspection EW system of the technology.
