GEW Technologies launches multi-role wideband direction finder operating from 1Mhz to 6 000Mhz
[Johannesburg, 4 February 2013] -
GEW Technologies, the South Africa-based Cassidian company, which is an expert in innovative communications intelligence and security applications, will be launching the MRD7 Manpack Direction Finder at the Eurosatory 2012 show, in Paris.Modern asymmetric warfare demands equipment adaptable to rapid deployment troops in order to empower them for such missions. Electronic warfare has long since been known as a ‘force multiplier’, and the new MRD7 is an example of just this. In a combat scenario, for instance, it would be used by front-line forces to provide real-time information to the battlefield commander on threats detected on the communications bands, along with the location of these emitters. This information would be critical in assessing the enemy order of battle, as well as in directing own forces in order to gain tactical advantage.The MRD7 is an exciting new addition to GEW’s extensive range of electronic warfare products. This model has been specifically designed for man-portable and mobile applications where size and weight are critical factors. The MRD7 direction finder provides an extremely wide frequency range of 1MHz to 6000MHz, and is a compact, cost-effective and complete solution for full-band direction finding and monitoring purposes. It can successfully be used against modern communications threats such as GSM and TETRA signals.
