ELBIT for the battlefield

In addition to various first-time exhibitors and start-ups, established companies such as ELBIT SYSTEMS DEUTSCHLAND will once again be presenting their latest innovations and developments to a broad audience of international security specialists in five halls at ENFORCE TAC in Nuremberg instead of the previous three. 

This year, for example, the experts from Ulm will be presenting a system that is suitable for widespread use in the armed forces and is therefore likely to attract increased interest: SmarTrack is a multi-purpose soldier tracking device (Blue Force Tracking) for environments in which GNSS is either unavailable or subject to interference. It is ideal for use with infantry forces, special forces and first responders. SmarTrack increases the safety and operational effectiveness of dismounted units on the battlefield by informing each soldier of the current location of nearby unit members with high accuracy. The device can be used in various operational environments, both indoors and outdoors, and can serve as a radio data link to facilitate communication and the transmission of C2 data between a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 100 users. The solution has a high-frequency transceiver for high-precision positioning using a broadband signal that also enables operation in environments with insufficient radio communication. 

In 2025, the Ulm-based technology company is still focusing on drone applications and drone defense, among other things. In particular, the ReDrone system on show in Nuremberg can score points across the board here, as it is suitable for the stationary or mobile protection of both civilian events and critical infrastructure as well as for the reliable protection of military camps, convoys, high-value targets and much more. In addition, Elbit Systems Deutschland will be presenting the new Portable Detection & Jamming System (PDJS), which was specially developed for the effective protection of smaller, highly mobile combat groups, for the first time at a domestic trade fair. The portable system creates an electromagnetic dome with a low signature in the vicinity of the group, within which approaching drones can be detected and control signals efficiently jammed. 

The reconnaissance domain is also the focus of the new White Owl, a launch detection system on display in Nuremberg, which uses electro-optical technology to detect airborne launches of manpads, mortars, artillery, etc., regardless of the time of day and weather, and provides the position data in real time. This increases situational awareness and enables countermeasures to be initiated quickly. It makes no difference whether White Owl, which weighs just under 700 g, is integrated on a UAV, an airplane or a helicopter.

In addition to the examples mentioned above, ELBIT SYSTEMS DEUTSCHLAND will be showcasing other products available on the market at stand 7A-224 at ENFORCE TAC, including drone defense, electro-optics and communications for police forces and the military, which have already proven their worth many times over internationally.
