The launch of IDAS 310 marked another leap forward for Saab in electronic warfare solutions. Discover the new version of the Integrated Defensive Aids Suite.
In today’s increasingly complex and rapidly changing mission environments, electronic warfare (EW) as we know it is a necessity for survival. To truly overcome threats, self-protection needs to evolve. Threats, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical, are constantly evolving, adapting, becoming more intelligent and increasingly difficult to detect.
To stay ahead, Saab’s advanced system has been specially designed to protect aircraft against a wide range of threats, including radar-guided missiles, as well as various radio frequency, infrared and laser threats.
The IDAS 310 comes with several important features, such as a combination of missile approach warning, laser warning and radar warning. It is equipped with an upgraded EW controller, a radar warning receiver that excels in radio frequency environments and enhanced ground support and test equipment for electronic support and intelligence tasks.
“The system’s small, lightweight and highly adaptable structure allows for the efficient integration of targeted infrared countermeasures technology, ensuring high-level protection that allows the pilot to focus on the mission at hand. In addition, it supports the deployment of the Expendable Active Decoy, further enhancing its defensive capabilities,” said Jan Widerström, President and CEO of Saab Grintek Defence.
With IDAS protecting the rear, you can be well-prepared for the most challenging missions in the most demanding threat environments. The solution makes it possible to fly and forget about your surroundings, as it automatically detects and effectively combats different types of threats, allowing the pilot to concentrate solely on executing the mission.
By employing advanced digital signal processing to analyze threats in real time and neutralize countermeasures, the IDAS-310 offers excellent situational awareness. This system integrates seamlessly with the aircraft’s mission systems, improving the flow of information and allowing pilots to make better decisions.
