BROADSHIELD® MCS-EA

MODULAR COUNTERMEASURES SUITE FOR ELECTRONIC ATTACK

KEY FEATURES

  • Multi-platform EA

  • Modes include: Constant Jamming, Re-Active Jamming, Deception and Emulation

  • 20MHz to 6GHz Spectral Coverage

  • Integral receiver for re-active communications jamming

  • 2 x 10W RF output power (1Kw external PA option for vehicles)

  • Fully Ruggedised MOTS solution

  • Compatible with L-3 TRL’s IEW capability

  • Scalable dual-use capability in EA & FP modes

  • Comprehensive range of Training and Support packages

Built on L-3 TRL’s latest Advanced Processor Board technology MCS-EA utilises 2 units to cover the complete 20Mhz to 6Ghz
threat spectrum. The unit contains an integral receiver, allowing it to scan target frequencies up to 3GHz. Complex deception can be achieved for use on operations or as part of a simulated training environment. EA can be conducted from a standalone system, or as part of a networked, coordinated attack, utilising up to 64 MCS-EA units at any given time.

The BROADSHIELD MCS-EA unit has an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), enabling basic or advanced jamming techniques to be programmed and transmitted. It can be reprogrammed in the field using its dedicated EA GUI to configure modulation techniques, waveforms, target frequencies and operating parameters. Settings are stored in a non-volatile memory to be activated in response to a signal of interest, a preset time schedule or across a command and control network, such as L-3 TRL's Tactical Integrated EW (IEW) capability.

BROADSHIELD MCS-EA offers true dual-use capability, with a simple firmware change enabling the operator to switch from Force Protection to Electronic Attack mode. When mounted with the HCS-EA unit, the system can allow use of either dedicated 50W power amplifiers or supplementary 1kW options. In vehicle mode it offers a powerful communications denial tool for conventional EW operations.

L-3 TRL offers a proven support model for all of our systems. This includes specialist training for operator, trainer and programmer, a central support desk function and a dedicated threat cell offering device exploitation and waveform creation.
