Revealing the Scorpius Electronic Warfare System: The Revolutionary Tech That Confronts Multiple Threats at Once!

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is thrilled to present the Scorpius series of Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. Scorpius stands out as the premier electronic warfare (EW) platform globally, capable of concurrently engaging multiple threats across various frequencies and orientations.

Scorpius utilizes Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology, marking a significant advancement in EW capabilities—ushering in a new epoch of electronic warfare functionality.

With AESA’s multi-beam functionality, Scorpius can simultaneously survey the entire vicinity for potential threats and deploy focused beams to disrupt an array of dangers within the electromagnetic spectrum. The system effectively targets diverse threats, including: UAVs, ships, missiles, communication links, low probability of interception (LPOI) radars, and beyond. Scorpius adeptly hinders the performance of adversarial electromagnetic systems, including radar, electronic sensors, navigation, and data links.

Scorpius’ innovative technology is defined by remarkable receiver sensitivity and elevated transmission power (ERP), considerably surpassing those of conventional EW systems. This equips Scorpius to detect various threats simultaneously from vastly increased ranges, and respond to each with tailored measures.

Scorpius is available across numerous domains:

Ground: Scorpius G (ground) operates as a ground-centric EW system tasked with identifying and neutralizing terrestrial and aerial threats. Scorpius-G is mobile and can be swiftly deployed via vehicle. Scorpius G signifies a novel class of air defense systems: “Soft-kill” air defense, which establishes an electronic shield over extensive geographic areas to counter a wide array of contemporary threats.

Naval: Scorpius N (naval) represents an EW solution tailored to safeguard vessels against sophisticated dangers in the maritime sphere, including: Over-the-Horizon Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles, Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAV), and airborne imaging radars. Scorpius’ exceptional range enables early detection and targeting of threats, essential for robust protection in naval operations.

Air: Scorpius SP – a self-protection pod for military aircraft, along with the Scorpius SJ, a standoff jammer that interferes with enemy aerial and ground-based electromagnetic activities over expansive regions.

Training: Scorpius T (training), recently launched, provides EW training for aviators. Scorpius-T can simulate a myriad of modern air-defense systems simultaneously from one platform. Its advanced simulation capabilities enhance training for fifth-generation aircraft. Scorpius T made its debut during the global air force exercise Blue Flag 2021.

Adi Dulberg, General Manager of the Intelligence Division at IAI, stated: “The contemporary battlefield relies heavily on the electromagnetic domain for intelligence gathering, communications, and navigation. Safeguarding the utilization of the electromagnetic domain for our troops while preventing its exploitation by adversaries has become essential for success in warfare and for maintaining the supremacy of our forces. The innovative technology, devised by IAI’s skilled engineers, transforms the landscape of electronic warfare, offering ground-breaking capabilities for electronic defense and disrupting enemy systems.”
