Its use is vital for both defense and offensive, allowing to influence the enemy's communications, identify his positions, defend his own troops and disorient the enemy.
Varieties of REB and their application:
In Ukraine, various REB systems are used, which can be classified according to their purpose:
- Reconnaissance and Detection: REB systems are actively used to intercept and analyze enemy radio signals. This allows its radio stations, radars, communication systems and even drones to be identified. The information obtained is critical for situational awareness and operation planning.
- Suppression and Silencing (Jamming): One of the main tasks of the REB is to block or disrupt the operation of the enemy's radio electronic systems. This could be jamming GPS signals to disorient drones, suppressing communication channels to disrupt coordination, or even failing radars and guidance systems. In Ukraine, mobile and stationary REB complexes are actively used to counter Russian drones, such as the “Orlan-10” and “Lancet”, as well as to combat their radio intelligence means.
- Radar Masking and Deception: REB can create false targets or distort information received by enemy radars in order to mislead them. This helps to hide the movement of your own troops, protect objects from rocket attacks, and confuse enemy forces.
- Protection of Own Systems: In addition to affecting the enemy, the REB also provides protection of its own electronic means from enemy suppression and reconnaissance. This includes the use of interference-resistant communication systems and special protection algorithms.
