Product Description: SPECTRA is the advanced multi-spectral integrated defensive aids suite developed by Thales in collaboration with MBDA, specifically designed to protect the Rafale fighter aircraft. This sophisticated system operates across electromagnetic, laser, and infrared domains, utilizing smart data fusion from a variety of multi-spectral sensors to effectively identify, locate, jam, and deploy decoys against a wide array of threats. SPECTRA incorporates a network of receivers and countermeasures, featuring RF (radio frequency) detectors that employ advanced techniques such as interferometry for precise direction-finding and passive ranging, along with digital frequency memory for enhanced signal coherence. This comprehensive defensive capability ensures that the Rafale maintains superior situational awareness and resilience in complex combat environments.
