Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. and Elbit Systems Ltd. have been awarded a contract to supply an electronic warfare Naval Decoy Control & Launching System (DCLS) to protect the new Frigates of NATO European countries.
The contract, set to be executed over a period of four years, includes the delivery of systems for five vessels. The agreement is part of a joint programme between Rafael and Elbit, which will provide an integrated solution from both companies, featuring Elbit’s operational DESEAVER MK-4 stabilised and trainable DCLS, along with a range of Rafael’s decoy countermeasures.
The integrated system fires various types of decoy rounds from multiple launchers to counter simultaneous threats. It consists of trainable and stabilised launchers, capable of rapidly and accurately deploying decoys selected by anti-missile algorithms. It supports the launch of both passive and active decoys and can be fully integrated with other ship combat systems.
