A new logo, expansion of its capabilities into the space and cyber domains; ELT Group, formerly Elettronica, is evolving even as it grows its global footprint.
The electronic warfare specialist is at the Show, sporting a new visual identity and highlighting its new capabilities in space and cyber domains. Recognizing that Space is attracting cyber criminals as it becomes an increasingly strategic business sector, the company has introduced a capability to examine developing threats in the sector.
ELT Group has leveraged its electromagnetic spectrum expertise to make the first payload, Scorpio, for space-based signals intelligence collection (aimed at collecting unclassified data) placed in a low earth orbit. The satellite carrying the payload was launched on April 15 onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Through CY4GATE, the Italian company has increased the capabilities of its ADRIAN (Anti-Drone Interception, Acquisition and Neutralization) system with a new feature called Cyber RF (Radio Frequency) which makes it capable of effectively detecting and reacting to new and more complex civilian and military operational scenarios involving both military and civilian, threatened by new generation malicious drones. Cyber RF is a complement to ADRIAN’s jamming, radar and visual modules and enhances its performance. ADRIAN can now perform a full takeover of the drone to achieve a safe landing, avoiding impacts in the locale where the drone is flying. It is also able to fully control the hostile drone in the countering phase.
According to the company, Cyber RF ensures 100 percent detection of most commercial drones being used for hostile purposes. It also allows the real-time tracking of the drone and the pilot, the possibility of aircraft identification and obtaining related telemetry (cyber detection), and finally selective drone takeover and countermeasures (cyber countermeasures).
In the cyber domain, Cy4Gate is presenting its Hybrid Cyber Digital Twin. The platform can simulate an IT/OT (Information Technology/Operational technology) network to identify potential vulnerabilities and preventively implement countermeasures that facilitate a more effective and timely response to a hacker. Digital twin technology makes it possible to improve the cyber resilience of networks and the technologies, to make red and blue team training more effective by having them practice on simulated attack scenarios using real and current threats, and to implement a ’honey net’. A honey net is a simulated network identical to the real one that is used as ‘cyber bait’ for the attacker in order to isolate it, study its behaviour and attack techniques, and then adjust defensive measures. Hybrid Cyber Digital Twin technology is tactically flexible and highly portable.
The new capabilities are the first technological results outlined by ELT Group’s Tenet 2030 industrial plan. Tenet 2030 moves the company in an increasingly global, multi-domain dimension, reflecting new trends in the realm of sixth-generation air platforms, mainly the multi-national Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) that the company is involved with.
"Following Tenet 2030, ELT Group is evolving to respond more effectively to new technological challenges and increasingly complex protection demands,” said Enzo Benigni, Company President and CEO. “This evolution has been possible thanks to the deep expertise, gained over seven decades, in the innovative use of the electromagnetic spectrum through proprietary technologies, and through continuous work in research and development. Today, ELT is a group showcasing its expertise in new domains and in new geographies, without losing focus of its core business where the company continues to invest in innovative solutions to provide armed forces with advanced proprietary systems."
ELT Group’s new logo, unveiled at the ongoing show, is represented by a sphere from which electromagnetic waves propagate to summarise three messages at the heart of the company’s evolution: the dominance of the electromagnetic spectrum in every domain, the global projection of the company, and the increased ability to protect assets, people and data.
