History

Grintek Ewation has been providing Electronic Warfare systems to clients since the 1960s. These systems cover the full range of COMINT solutions from single operator monitoring systems all the way through to integrated Electronic Support (ES) and Electronic Attack (EA) systems integrated via Electronic Warfare Operations Centres (EWOC).

In order to ensure that clients are provided with the best systems available on the market, Grintek Ewation has developed a full and diverse product range from which it builds systems. This has been done in order to ensure optimal performance, seamless integration and provision for future enhancement / expansion.

Our systems are in use by Air forces, Navies, Armies and Intelligence communities in South Africa as well as in many countries of the world.

Current

We see each client as being unique, having unique requirements which need to be fulfilled. For this reason our systems are tailor made to our client’s current needs, while being mindful of the evolving nature of these requirements. Grintek Ewation is also able to integrate existing client legacy equipment into our systems as well as providing inputs and outputs to higher level systems.

Our systems are built using proven building blocks / sub-systems that have been refined over time and perfected from client / operational inputs, yet keeping them up to date with the latest technology available.

Proposition

Let us work together with you in order to specify, design and produce a system which fits well into your organization and enhances your COMINT capabilities while being expandable in order to match future system capabilities.

Typical Systems

The following examples have been selected out of recent system level contracts to describe systems produced and supported by Grintek Ewation.

System A - The focus of this system delivery was the supply and integration of a strategic HF direction finding and monitoring system into a client’s existing workflow. In this system, all operational staff are located at a central site, with high speed WAN links to the sensor stations (both static and semi mobile). A high level of automation in terms of the COMINT process was required by this client. The system has been designed for expansion in terms of sensors, workstations, process flow.

System B – This tactical EW system is mounted in all terrain vehicles and encompasses Electronic Warfare from 1MHz through to 18GHz. The system provides both sophisticated Electronic Support (ES) as well as powerful Electronic Attack (EA) capabilities required in modern battlefield scenarios. The sensors and jammers operate under the control of a Tactical EW Operations Centre which in turn interfaces to existing client command and control structures.

System C - This system consists of a number of strategic HF monitoring sites which provide multiple operators with monitoring, direction finding and emitter location capabilities. The Wide Band Analysis & Signal Processing (WASP) sub-system forms part of the system in order to provided advanced online and offline signal processing capabilities. These systems augment the client’s already existing system previously provided by Grintek Ewation. In excess of 50 full static stations of varying complexity have been delivered to this client.

System D - This semi-mobile system consists of interception and direction finding entities which are under the control of a Command and Control Centre (CCC) in order to determine signals which are to be jammed. The CCC is then able to actively control the jamming stations in order to neutralize communications which are determined to be targets. Jamming is performed using various techniques including a hopper following jamming mode.

System E - This system was delivered to a public broadcast regulatory body. The focus of this system is spectrum management and monitoring using mobile sensors. The delivery consisted of self contained vehicles providing direction finding, monitoring and analysis in the 20-3000MHz range. The system is in the process of being augmented with the addition of a number of vehicles which will operate in the 1MHz to 3600MHz range.
