PSS VERA-E

The state of the art mobile PSS VERA-E is an ELINT and Passive Surveillance System designed for location, identification and tracking of air, ground and naval (ship) targets.

PSS VERA-E is based on the well proven passive Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) multilateration technique using signals of air, ground and naval radar, jammer, SSR transponder, TACAN/DME, interrogator, DataLink and other pulse emitters.

Besides ELINT missions, PSS VERA-E is extremely suitable as a passive surveillance sensor in air defence systems.

The PSS VERA-E uniquely merges ELINT features together with high quality surveillance features (tracking of targets) provided so far only by active radar.

Basic Features

• targets: radar, SSR transponders, TACAN interogators, jammers, DataLink
