Rafael’s EW decoy rockets were originally designed to fit its proprietary fixed launchers and Elbit Systems’ trainable Deseaver launchers. The recent test extends their operational flexibility, ensuring seamless integration with standard 130mm Decoy launchers.
Rafael’s wider EW decoy portfolio includes the operational C-GEM™ and WIZARD™ decoys. C-GEM™ is an off-board active RF decoy designed to counter advanced anti-ship missile threats. C-GEM™ employs a solid-state Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) transmitter with electronic beam steering, providing 360 degree azimuth coverage. It generates robust, coherent techniques based on advanced Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) to deceive sophisticated radar seekers. The WIZARD™ is a rapid-response corner reflector decoy that overcomes chaff discrimination capabilities. Deployed as a free-flight, fin-stabilized rocket, WIZARD™ features an encapsulated inflatable frame that forms corner reflectors upon deployment, creating realistic target characteristics to lure radar-guided missiles away from the protected vessel.
