Saab has unveiled the Sirius Compact L20C, a new addition to the company’s Sirius Compact tactical Electronic Warfare (EW) sensor family, at an event in Nuremberg, Germany.
The highly mobile Communications–Electronic Support Measures (C-ESM) sensor can detect, classify, localize, and track communication signals. This includes enemy troop radios or drone signals.
Saab’s latest offering is a modern and NATO-compatible sensor system, providing a high degree of operational flexibility in the field of electromagnetic reconnaissance. The L20C sensor is capable of operating remotely, easy to operate, and difficult to detect.
With high bearing accuracy and state-of-the-art signal processing for robust signal detection, L20C supports the electromagnetic situation picture (Recognized Electromagnetic Picture).
The compact form factor and NATO-compatible interfaces enable a wide range of deployment scenarios, such as soldier-borne transport, use on highly mobile light vehicles, or tool-free installation on masts.
The design philosophy of the sensor follows the principles of software-defined defense, namely standardized data interfaces that enable seamless integration into command-and-control (C2) systems.
Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance, commented, “Our newest Sirius Compact sensor, L20C, is a milestone within the Sirius Compact family. Our customers will benefit from L20C to always stay ahead of the threats through its capability to track enemy communication signals. In combination with Sirius Compact L20R, it provides users with vital information simultaneously to deliver situational awareness that is of the highest relevance on today’s battlefield.”
