A Game Of Hide And Seek


Anti-ship missiles have evolved more rapidly than most navies’ electronic warfare and ship
protection systems, which gives vessels very little time to respond in the event of an attack.
Remaining undetected against a more complex threat requires electronic warfare systems with
the capability to detect, recognise, identify and assess low-power, wideband emissions.
