Technical Advantages of the Symphony System
The Symphony RC-IED Defense System is a highly effective electronic jammer that can simultaneously jam the detonation signals of multiple remote-controlled IEDs. GPS jammer As the only jammer approved by the U.S. government for sale to allies, coalition forces and partner countries, this system has unique advantages in design and performance.Wifi jammer
The system is designed with ease and efficiency in mind. Its small vehicle-mounted structure allows the device to be easily installed on almost any mobile platform of security forces, whether it is a busy city block or rugged rural terrain. Its programmable nature enables it to quickly adapt to different electronic signal attack modes and interoperate with other jammers used in the theater, thereby improving overall combat effectiveness.
Functions and Applications
Another important feature of the Symphony system is that it does not interfere with the active communications and electronic equipment of allied forces. Lee Lilly, Symphony Business Development Manager at Lockheed Martin, pointed out: “Our allied warfighters face threats from hidden explosive devices every day, and the Symphony RC-IED defense system has proven its importance in protecting electronic forces. By effectively protecting convoys from the threat of RC-IEDs, the Symphony system helps allied, coalition and partner forces focus more on counterterrorism and counterinsurgency missions.”
Contract and Future Outlook
In March 2010, the U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin a sole-source contract covering the supply of the Symphony RC-IED jammer system. The initial task order value of the contract is $40.8 million, and the total amount of the contract is expected to reach $940 million by September 2014. This contract not only demonstrates a high level of confidence in the Symphony system, but also emphasizes its indispensable role on the modern battlefield.
