Chemring Technology Solutions (CTS) says it has expanded its RESOLVE Electronic Warfare (EW) range of products with a lightweight version of the RESOLVE manpack, an EW system designed specifically for on-the-march missions.

Weighing just 22 pounds, the RESOLVE lightweight manpack system fits into a standard day pack, delivering dismounted soldiers more flexible EW capabilities to exploit multiple communications systems.

It offers an alternative EW system to the standard RESOLVE manpack, which provides advanced signals analysis and enables multiple mission profiles.

The EW capabilities of the lightweight manpack system have not been compromised despite a significant reduction in size and weight. RESOLVE delivers immediate threat warning, electronic overwatch and single sensor location for up to eight hours from a single battery.

The simple interface provides instant access to key functions to deliver immediate support in a variety of operational environments, including close-quarter, long-range patrol or stand-off missions. The lightweight system can still be networked to other static or mobile systems.

Gavin O’Connell, business sector manager at CTS, said: “Our original development of RESOLVE was a real step change, as no other EW system provides such a high level of direction-finding capability for dismounted missions. The RESOLVE lightweight manpack system builds on this by meeting our customers’ increasing demand for smaller, portable solutions that reduce soldier burden and provide more effective support for on-the-march EW operations.”
