Dozens of ghost fighter planes
The system is based on DRFM technology (digitaldigital Radio frequency memory)) Which allows radio signals to be captured and retransmitted digitally. It can analyze the environment and choose the most effective countermeasure. This includes creating a barrage of electronic noise or creating dozens of fake signals corresponding to fighter aircraft and MissilesMissiles. It is enough to cause confusion and prevent the defense forces from knowing where the aircraft are located, their number, and above all, which targets they should target.
The BriteStorm system weighs only 2.5 lbs kilogramkilogramThis allows it to be easily installed on different devices. Leonardo points out that he has already conducted tests with the royal team airair The UK force sees the US Department of Defense as a potential client.
