RAVEN: TACTICAL EW SYSTEM BY STARK

Bildquelle: Gemini-generated

Kurze Beschreibung / Short Description + Wichtiger Hinweis für alle Teilnehmenden / Important note for all participants

STARK's EW system RAVEN brings EW capabilities to the tactical edge with truly enhancing cognitive technologies. Traditional systems are too large, expensive, or sensitive to operate at the tactical edge. RAVEN, however, delivers real-time electromagnetic awareness and emitter tracking in a compact, affordable system by combining advanced cognitive techniques with proven real-time methods, closing a key capability gap in contested environments.

RAVEN enables the detection, classification, and 3D direction finding of active emitters—including jammers, FPV drones, radars, and tactical data links—across a broad frequency range. Its small form factor allows for modular deployment as a sensor on a wide variety of platforms including UAS (both ISR drones and loitering munitions) and C-UAS platforms, ground vehicles, or fixed installations, bringing advanced EW capabilities to frontline operators. This makes it useful for RF situational awareness, ISR or strike capabilities enabling the neutralization of enemy EW assets.

Acceptance to the SPECTRA challenge will help us significantly in maturing our EW solution. The challenge fully supports STARK's iterative process of product development alongside operator feedback.

STARK is applying for the Practical Track of the SPECTRA challenge.
