IAI unveils new Passive Coherent Location System
The new PCL is able to covertly detect and track aerial targets while remaining immune to jamming.
IAI subsidiary Elta Systems has unveiled its new Passive Coherent Location System (PCL), which enables the creation of an air situation picture that tracks non-emitting targets using non-cooperative transmitters.
In a 27 October statement the company said the PCL was able to detect and track aerial threats based on target reflection from non-cooperative transmissions from FM or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) towers.
The reflections are received by one or a network of antennas, providing 3D real-time omnidirectional coverage for tracking of multiple targets in congested airborne traffic.
The company claimed that the PCL system was simple to deploy and can be located on remote borders, as well as in urban areas.
Installation can include one sensor or a cluster of sensors for redundancy and improved coverage of specific problematic areas. The sites are connected to the central PCL command and control processing unit via a dedicated data link.
VP and General Manager of IAI/ELTA’s Intelligence, Communications and EW division, Adi Dulberg, said the new system was already deployable and provides real-time aerial mapping, of non-emitting threats.
'The PCL system creates air situation picture and can be deployed independently or as an additional layer for air control radars, as part of a multi-disciplinary air situation picture,' Dulberg added.
