HIGH SENSITIVITY FOR DEMANDING ELINT MISSIONS
VIGILE 400 is the ultimate version of the VIGILE family.
It adds a high accuracy DOA measurement to a specific
digital superhet receiver for
- detection of LPI radar
- operation from cluttered environment
- enhanced ELINT missions.
This Radar Electronic Support Measures (R-ESM) system
is suited for main warships, special auxiliaries as well
as land-based electronic warfare centres. It provides
accurate tactical situational awareness, self-protection
and enables passive targeting.
VIGILE 400
High sensitivity R-ESM/ELINT System
Optional low-band frequency extension allows operations in littoral waters and the processing of radar signals
in dense environment (CW and GSM signals).
The system is proposed with a special cabinet to house
the Fine Grain Analysis (FGA) and ELINT processing.
A dedicated workstation is associated.
It is proposed with a flexible command control & display.
The Man-Machine Interface can be run on all types of
combat systems multifunction consoles.
VIGILE 400
With equipment installed by more than 40 Navies
around the world, VIGILE is a sea proven system.
Thales has extensive experience in R-ESM design,
installation and integration and is the ideal partner
for providing you with Electronic Warfare solutions.
