Anduril Industries, a U.S. defense technology company specializing in advanced autonomous systems, has launched its family of modular, multi-mission-capable electronic warfare (EW) systems called Pulsar.

Pulsar, which is powered by artificial intelligence (AI), can reportedly be deployed on both vehicles or aerial drones where the family of EW systems will immediately identify and subsequently defeat various existing and future EW threats — including small and medium-sized drones.

“The next generation of EW systems must enable real-time understanding of the spectrum and provide rapid delivery of effective countermeasures against known and new threats across domains and modalities,” the company explained.

Features of the Pulsar system include software-defined radio, a graphics processing unit and additional computing capabilities. This combination, according to Pulsar’s developers, enables radio frequency machine learning (RFML) to identify and address emerging threats at the edge almost instantly.

Additional capabilities of the system include electronic countermeasures, counter-unmanned systems, electronic support, electronic attack, direction finding, geolocation and other EW capabilities.

Further, Pulsar can be integrated into ground vehicles (Pulsar-V) or aircraft (Pulsar-A) to assist distributed EW operations across assorted domains. It can also intelligently and autonomously scan a wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum, detect threats and anomalous events, and reduce the time required to deploy new EW effects to hours and days, the company explained.
