Elbit Systems EW (Hall 1 Stand A100) and Sigint–Elisra has drawn on its considerable experience in the electronic warfare arena to develop a very lightweight self-protection/jamming system that is particularly suited to unmanned air vehicles due to its very low SWaP (size, weight and power). Known as Light Spear, the system combines electronic support measures and electronic countermeasures, with multiple DRFM jammers working in parallel and covering a wide spectrum. Light Spear can be integrated with a variety of platforms and transmitters.
