Electronics Intelligence (ELINT)

Electronics Intelligence (ELINT) is the collection and analysis of non-communication electronic signals, and is used to gather intelligence on adversary activities. Novator Solutions offers advanced ELINT systems with gapless recording and ample storage to enhance signal detection and analysis in challenging environments.

Defining Electronics Intelligence

Electronics Intelligence (ELINT) involves collecting, processing, and analysing electronic signals transmitted from systems other than those used for communications. Usually, this includes radars, electronic warfare systems, or other active or passive electromagnetic emissions.

ELINT systems focus on the detection, identification, and analysis of non-communication signals to gather information on the capabilities, intentions, and activities of adversaries. Both known and unknown signals can be stored for offline analysis and added to a database for use in future missions.

ELINT systems are typically deployed by:

  • National Defence Forces for understanding the posture and position of adversary assets, and recognising the presence of specific radars and electronic defence systems, for example
  • Signals Intelligence Authorities for long-term surveillance that impacts national defence and intelligence strategies

Our Approach to ELINT Obstacles

Some key challenges in ELINT systems include recognising signals of interest within a congested electromagnetic environment, countering adversaries’ electronic protection techniques such as frequency hopping, and managing substantial volumes of data. At Novator Solutions, we streamline these processes by offering ELINT monitoring solutions with gapless recording, extensive storage capacity, and a circular pre-trigger buffer, ensuring the effective interception of signals of interest.

FAQ

  • What is Electronics Intelligence (ELINT)?

  • ELINT is the practice of gathering intelligence by intercepting electronic signals that are not directly related to communications. This includes radars, jammers, GPS, telemetry and other electromagnetic emissions. ELINT is used for building long-term threat databases and driving the development of countermeasures, or for informing immediate actions.

  • How does COMINT differ from ELINT?

  • COMINT specifically relates to the gathering of signals that convey information from point A to point B. ELINT relates to any signals that are not directly used for communication. This includes signals from radars, jammers, navigation systems and other electromagnetic emissions.
