Airborne electromagnetic attack solutions
Comprehensive capabilities for airborne electromagnetic warfare
HENSOLDT's airborne electromagnetic attack (AEA) solutions enable cross-domain effects in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). They effectively jam radar systems in the air, on the ground and at sea, while also suppressing lines of communication. Simultaneously, the system generates a real-time situational picture, enabling electromagnetic warfare capabilities to support operational forces.
Advanced jamming for complex missions
Our solutions offer a wide range of capabilities for stand-off, escort, and stand-in jamming, enabling military forces to operate in diverse and challenging environments. HENSOLDT’s solutions are reliable, flexible and scalable, enabling precise and tailored electromagnetic attacks to maintain operational freedom in complex scenarios.

Innovative solutions for a safer worldTypes of jammers
Stand-off jammer: precision from a distance
A stand-off jammer (SOJ) delivers powerful and precise electromagnetic attack capabilities at extended ranges, ensuring the safety of friendly forces without entering hostile engagement zones and their range of action. An SOJ disrupts adversary radars and communications from a great distance, reducing the risk of exposure to hostile threats while maintaining operational effectiveness.
- Long-range electromagnetic attack
- Highly effective against radar and communications
- Command and control capability in modern warfare
- Scalable and adaptable to platform requirements
Escort jammer: protection in close proximity
An escort jammer (ESJ) provides critical protection for military aircraft, particularly during high-risk missions. By operating in the electromagnetic spectrum against enemy radar and missile systems, it helps protect allied forces, allowing them to complete their missions in complex and challenging environments.
- Continuous protection of high-value assets
- Adaptive jamming for dynamic threats
- Effective multi-target engagement using the latest AESA technology and jamming generator
- Compatible with a wide range of platforms and mission profiles
Stand-in jammer: effective close-range disruption
A stand-in jammer (SIJ) operates directly within the threat environment, providing targeted jamming of enemy systems at close range. Its proximity to the target enables highly effective jamming complex scenarios. It is therefore ideal for high-intensity operations where precision is paramount.
- Close-proximity operation
- Ideal for high-priority missions
- Highly adaptable to multiple combat scenarios
- Enables effective suppression of enemy air defences
Electromagnetic attack system integration: seamless coordination
HENSOLDT's airborne electromagnetic attack solutions can be integrated into a wide range of platforms, providing seamless coordination with other avionics and mission systems. Our solutions enhance the effectiveness of multi-platform operations, enabling coordinated electromagnetic warfare alongside other military assets.
