Czech electronic warfare system producer URC Systems has teamed with local firm Radiant Corporation to supply the Bangladesh Army with its STAR Light 3E jammers.


The jammers - designed to counter threats such as radio-controlled improvised explosive devices (RCIEDs) - will be installed onto the army's tactical mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles. IHS Jane's understands that these vehicles are based on the Turkish-made Cobra II 4x4 platform.

The STAR Light 3E is the upgraded export variant of the STAR Light 3 jammer, which the Czech Army has successfully deployed on a combat mission in Afghanistan aboard the 8x8 Pandur II wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

Technical information on the 3E system remains undisclosed, although it is understood to have a power output of 455 W divided into eight bands.

The system scans several frequency sub-bands simultaneously and can be programmed to jam selected frequencies. This enables channels employed by friendly forces to remain accessible during jamming operations.

I am yet to see any otokar Cobra used by Army. They are primarily used by the riot police.

BD Army repeatedly showed them on 2014, 2015 victory day parades.
