It is a Finnish-Swedish joint development. Saab has unveiled a passive, compact electronic warfare sensor called the Sensor Compact, which is designed to work alone or in a group to detect incoming threats at various tactical levels without revealing its presence.Discuss
Diverse defense contractors are developing sensors that are not only more sensitive to incoming electronic signals, but also smaller, lighter, more efficient, and capable of operating without revealing themselves.
Weighing only 3kg, the new Sensor Compact passive modular unit can be installed on a wide variety of platforms and quickly deployed by a single soldier to form scalable detector networks where sensors can discreetly detect incoming threats by their electronic signatures.Developed by a Swedish and Finnish company, the Sensor Compact silently detects, evaluates and prioritizes radar signals and data transmissions. Its autonomous systems can accurately locate potentially hostile signals or triangulate with other devices to locate transmitters for targeting ground-based air defenses, with accuracy and efficiency that Saab claims is comparable to larger, static sensors, while being easy to hide. in plain sight.
Sirius Compact can be installed in coastal and border surveillance systems, armored vehicles and small unmanned quadcopters. Applications include aerial surveillance, crew/robot teams, and special operations. As an added security measure, Sirius Compact does not require any sensitive data to operate.
