Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has unveiled TacSense, a new compact electronic support measure (ESM) system.

TacSense is a compact, low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) ESM system that can intercept, classify, track, and analyse radars across the radar-frequency spectrum, including the latest low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) emitters, the company announced on 3 November.

Intended for tactical scenarios, the solution can be used for aerial platforms that require low-SWaP sensors, for discreet fixed installations or during ground force manoeuvres, the company said. Tactical ground vehicles and small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are some of the platforms the ESM solution can be integrated on, the company added.

A manpack version is also available, the company said.

An IAI spokesperson informed Janes that the sensor’s “weight ranges from <5 kg (the bare sensor) to 16 kg, depending on antennas and auxiliary equipment”, while its power consumption is below 120 W.
