Lightweight naval C-ESM solution

OVERVIEW
EARL -Naval is a lightweight and cost-effective
naval C-ESM solution for small surface ships,
providing Alert and Situation Awareness
capabilities based on interception/Direction
Finding of the radio communication signals in
DF antenna frequency band 100-3000 MHz.
It provides detection and bearing of conventional
or asymmetric communication emitters, for
surveillance and littoral warfare missions.
