PURPOSE:
The ETM transmitters will be integrated into the CIDACA-R
ESM/ECM system to be used as a land-based radar
countermeasures application on a Kazakhstan Army vehicle.
They will be used to produce a wide bandwidth of radar
jamming capabilities on a vehicle platform to protect mission
personnel, equipment, and locations from electronic
surveillance.
Alava Ingenieros will integrate the transmitters with an
antenna system and conduct initial RF (radio frequency)
testing prior to shipping the transmitters and antenna to
Indra Sistemas. Indra will conduct final system integration
with other system electronics into a mechanical structure
within a radome and ship the final system (the CIDACA-R
ESM/ECM) to the MOD Kazakhstan.
