At the recently concluded DSEI in London, AARONIA AG showcased its AARTOS Drone Detection & Defense System (DDS) and demonstrated live how state-of-the-art CUAV capabilities are key to enhancing the agility and resilience of tomorrow’s armed forces – fully aligned with this year’s motto, “Preparing the Future Force.”
Programmable 360° Smart Jammer – Full Spectrum Control
The new AARTOS 360° Smart Jammer redefines electronic countermeasures, setting an entirely new benchmark. Instead of relying on rigid presets, operators – or the software itself, if desired – can mark and suppress any signal in real time within the 400 MHz to 6 GHz range (expandable upon request).
Whether targeting individual channels, multiple frequency bands, or the entire spectrum, the Smart Jammer enables surgical precision interventions. Equipped with 4 to 8 sector antennas, its effects can be directed with pinpoint accuracy into one or multiple directions simultaneously, achieving ranges of up to 10 km and an output power of up to 800 W CW (up to 5000 W EIRP).
It is currently the only system worldwide that combines frequency programmability, 360° coverage, sector-based steering, and real-time operator intervention. For electronic warfare specialists, this means maximum flexibility, instant responsiveness, and a system that adapts seamlessly to any tactical scenario.
Modularity, Precision, Speed
In addition to the Smart Jammer, AARONIA highlighted the modular architecture of AARTOS:
- Ultra-compact, agile systems for flexible deployments
- Mobile turnkey solutions such as the Mercedes Zetros 6×6 with integrated AARTOS X9
- Wide-area protection networks covering entire operational zones
All systems deliver precise direction finding, reliable geolocation, and ultra-fast sweep rates to provide a resilient real-time operational picture. Hardware capabilities are enhanced by the RTSA-Suite PRO software, which analyzes broadband data streams, integrates multiple receivers, and supports decoders as well as pattern recognition for rapid, reliable decision-making.
Targeted Demand at DSEI
“The conversations at the exhibition made it clear: decision-makers today seek not broad information but precise, tailored solutions to specific operational scenarios,” said Stephan Kraschansky, CEO of Aaronia Austria. “With AARTOS, we can meet these requirements – through modular hardware, precise localization, rapid analysis, and the programmable 360° Smart Jammer as the centerpiece of modern electronic warfare.”
Proven Protection – Ready for the Future
AARTOS is deployed in over 650 installations worldwide and has proven itself in highly critical scenarios – from summit and large-event security to 24/7 military operations. It combines cutting-edge sensors, powerful effectors, an integrated C2 system, and programmable jamming – available in a variety of turnkey solutions ranging from shelters to military and civilian vehicles, as well as large-scale infrastructures. This provides armed forces with maximum flexibility and resilience against future threats.
With its presence at DSEI 2025, AARONIA has underscored how the programmable 360° Smart Jammer, in combination with the modular AARTOS systems, is setting new benchmarks in electronic warfare – and making a vital contribution to building the Future Force.
