Rafael: Protecting the Shoreline

Rafaelhas developed an integrated solution to provide shoreline protection against enemy threats, its main mission being to detect and identify the enemy far from the shoreline and to provide the engaging force with high valued intelligence and maximum accuracy of attack.

Command and Control of such missions is via a Command Post (CP) located in a sheltered and safe location, which is the originator, coordinator and the allocator of the mission and the mission players. The CP includes a multi-role C4ISR center to provide target and force location distribution, communication between all forces, target following and intelligence collection.

For reliable intelligence collection, Rafael's approach comprises varied intelligence devices such as radar, electro identify the threats during day, night and poor visibility conditions.

Rafael’s mature, combat- proven range of multispectral, multi- platform sensors deliver solutions for various operational scenario, enabling the detection, Rafael's Litening attack and navigation pod, Reccelite reconnaissance pod, Toplite observation pod, and other advanced systems which enable high quality imagery of the relevant area.

Reliable secure communication and networking is crucial to closing the loop. Rafael's broadband networking systems provide maximum connectivity for mobile and stationary platforms, advanceded IP mobile adhoc network SDR such as Rafael's BNET for tacticall operations,i cost-effectiveff i wideband data link solutions, designed for use with reconnaissance pods, and real-time simultaneous video and data streaming from multi-sensors.

The final stage of engagement is carried out by a combination of static, maneuvering and aerial spike missiles, which as an electro-optic missile, with a dual seeker, enabling day and night capabilities, is effective against wide range of targets at ranges of a few hundred metres to 25 km. Spike has pinpoint accuracy with a low Circular Error Probability (CEP) regardless of the range.
