RAFAEL - Underwater and Surface Warfare Systems

RAFAEL provide innovative, state-of-the-art solutions to meet the most demanding naval defense applications. A wide product portfolio includes:

  • Integrated combat systems for surface vessels, patrol boats and submarines
  • EW, EO, ECM and ESW systems
  • Anti-missile decoys and missiles
  • Stabilized gun systems
  • Torpedo countermeasures for surface vessels and submarines
  • EW simulators

Surface Warfare Systems
RAFAEL provides you with the winning technology for your anti-surface warfare needs with systems including ESM/ECM, point defense missile system, small caliber gun system, optronic detection and direction systems, expendable decoys, launchers, signature reduction services and combat system integration.

SEWS/RAN-1110 is an operational, shipborne integrated EW suite, synergizing the advanced capabilities of an ESM subsystem based on the C-Pearl and ECM based on the SHARK.

A compact, lightweight state-of-the-art ESM system, RAFAEL's C-Pearl enables the automatic detection and identification of threats in complex electromagnetic environments. RAFAEL's ESM can be installed on missile gun boats, frigates and aircraft carriers. It is fully qualified and operational in conjunction with on-board radars and integrated with various combat systems.

SHARK/RAN-1101 is an operational shipborne electronic counter-measures (ECM) system with very high effective radiated power (ERP). SHARK is capable of jamming and deceiving a large number of threats simultaneously in different directions using power management (PM) with sophisticated techniques and trackers.

COMINT DIRECTION FINDING SYSTEM
RAFAEL's RAF-5100 provides substantial improvements over conventional Direction Finding (DF) techniques in accuracy, speed, immunity from interference and detection probability. The RAF-5100 Super Resolution DF system is based on proprietary super resolution algorithms and state-of-the-art DSP chips. It provides superior direction finding capabilities, even in the presence of multipath.

SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG RANGE, HEATRAP
RAFAEL's combat-proven decoys provide ship defense in all stages of naval combat. RAFAEL's third generation decoy system is designed to counter all modern threats and tactics. Featuring three line of defense with real-time optimized decoys deployment, a fixed or rotatable launching system, and a computerized decoy controller, the decoys can be easily integrated with ESM/ECM and C4I systems.

BARAK AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM
The BARAK air defense system is a maintenance-free eight-cell launcher, with vertical launch it uses radar CLOS guidance, has very short reaction times and minimum range, 360º azimuth coverage and high rate of turn.

ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE SYSTEMS
RAFAEL has developed a concept for surface ship defense against modern torpedoes which are fitted with ACCM. This Advanced Torpedo Defense System (ATDS) consists of:

  • A towed line array for long range sonar detection of torpedoes (TDTA)
  • The ATC-2 towed decoy which simultaneously transmits acoustic signals and provides close range localization of the torpedo
  • SCUTTER expendable, intelligent decoys

The ATC-2 covers the entire torpedo frequency band of 17-85 KHz, with a very high source level of 187 Pa at 1 meter. It offers unique short dB/ range torpedo detection capabilities to pinpoint incoming torpedoes.

TDTA is a mini-line towed array sonar, lightweight and just eight meters long. TDTA provides a surface ship with long-range torpedo detection and classification capabilities. It is easily integrated with the ATC-2 towed decoy. During extensive sea trials it has demonstrated outstanding performance.

UNDERWATER SUBMARINE SYSTEM
RAFAEL offers a family of products which provide an excellent defense capability against ASW torpedoes launched from surface ships, submarines, helicopters and more. But that's not all: RAFAEL's systems can also greatly increase the survivability of submarines.

SCUTTER is a unique, sophisticated reactive expendable torpedo decoy that covers the entire frequency band of torpedoes and has very high transmission source levels.

HELSEA is a buoy connected to the submarine by a com link, providing helicopter detection and identification capability.

The C-Pearl-S ESM/ELINT system is based on the surface ship ESM. With its high DF accuracy and ELINT capability, the system supplies the submarine with excellent situation awareness in combat and peace time conditions.
