Thales ELINT

ELINT Pod for C-130

Advanced ELectronic INTelligence

• Data Inputs for EW Center Databases • Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) • Signal Analysis and Fingerprinting

Roll-On/Roll-Off System • Packaged in an external fuel tank envelope

• Unobtrusive, Undetectable, Autonomous and Flexible solution to remotely monitor radar signals and get accurate positioning data Thales proposes a pod-mounted version of its advanced ELINT suites. Designed to be installed with minor modifications on military transport aircraft such as Hercules C-130, this system provides the Forces Commanders with extensive “On Demand” Signal Intelligence capabilities. Ready to operate in very short delay, the pod can be programmed for dedicated ELINT missions and regular transport missions.
