Rafael Advanced Defense Systems introduced Storm Shield at the AOC Electronic Warfare Conference in Helsinki.
The compact electronic warfare (EW) suite provides unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with survivability levels typically reserved for manned aircraft. The system protects drones operating within sophisticated anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) environments.
This launch addresses the growing vulnerability of high-value drones to modern air-defense networks. Iranian systems recently downed several American and Israeli UAVs during Operation Roaring Lion. Storm Shield enables drones to autonomously detect and counter threats in real-time.
