Leonardo ‘BriteEye’ defensive aids suite

Leonardo has recently exhibited its latest electronic warfare (EW) survivability product, the ‘BriteEye’ which combines sensing and countermeasures into a single integrated product, can detect radar-guided “radio frequency” (RF) threats to aircraft and launch appropriate countermeasures. BriteEye uses proven technology from Leonardo’s SEER radar warning receiver to detect RF threats and can then automatically cue countermeasures from an integrated countermeasure dispensing system (CMDS) including flares and Leonardo’s BriteCloud expendable radar-jamming decoy.

Designed to fit in compact space, BriteEye is suited for light fighters, small intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft and Remotely-Piloted Air Systems (RPAS).
