The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:
6 Dec. 2021 -- The latest iterations of the Scorpius EW system are based on active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology to provide what the company says is a new type of soft kill capability on land and sea.
AI announced the ground-based Scorpius G and maritime Scorpius N systems last month. The latest products are derived from technologies used in two previous airborne pods, the Scorpius SP (self-protection) and SJ (standoff jammer), as well as a ground-based training version, the Scorpius T.
The Scorpius EW systems can track several land and sea threats at once, using jamming to disrupt radio signals. Because of the AESA technology behind it, these kinds of systems are scalable and can provide a defensive bubble around a much wider area to defend a warship against long-range anti-ship missiles or to protect a land-based armored column on the move.
