Elbit Systems is considered one of the ten most important players in the world in the use of artificial intelligence in electronic warfare systems. The research firm BIS Research estimates that it expects a sharp rise in the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of electronic warfare. Alongside Elbit are companies such as BAE Systems, General Dynamics, Harris, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Saab, Textron and Thales.
BIS estimates that in 2023 the market for electronic cognitive warfare systems will total $ 383 million. It is expected to grow at an annual rate of about 19% and reach about $ 928 million in 2028. The main factor in the growth of cognitive systems lies in the ability of artificial intelligence systems equipped with machine learning algorithms to identify unknown threats. The company believes that the technology will only be felt in the market in 2023. The main push for development comes from the United States, China and Russia, who have decided to integrate artificial intelligence into many levels within their armies.
Europe will surprise the world
The combination of artificial intelligence in electronic warfare systems (EW) will overcome the main drawbacks of electronic warfare systems: the difficulty of dealing with very large amounts of information (overload) and the inability to identify unknown threats. Today, the developing market is classified into four main sub-areas: electronic attack, electronic countermeasure (EA / ECM), electronic protection (EP), also known as electronic counter-measures, ES, and the Electronic Intelligence market.
The intelligence market is expected to grow at an extremely rapid rate in the coming years. A senior analyst at BIS, Swatty Chathorwoody, estimates that, contrary to expectations, in Europe, the fastest-growing market will develop. "We estimate that in 2023 the largest electronic warfare market will be in Europe, because it makes very large investments in the research and development of cognitive systems for military applications, but other markets, such as Russia, the US and Asia, are expected to grow very rapidly."
Elbit is already deep in the market
It should be noted that most of the military applications of artificial intelligence technologies are in their infancy. Despite this, Elbit has already reported several mature solutions in this field. About two months ago, it announced a new version of the airborne data collection system, CONDOR MS (which competes with Rafael's Lightning equipment), which includes a multi-spectral camera and an artificial intelligence analysis system. The system combines three electro-optical sensors in one sensor: a light-visible sensor, and two infrared sensors: one for intermediate radiation (MWIR) and the other for ultra-short-wave radiation (SWIR). Elbit said the system includes a deep learning algorithm that helps identify targets.
Elbit's multi-spectral retreading processes the images by studying the depth of Elbit's multi-spectral processor.
In 2018, it unveiled a war room called Strike-Cell to manage a front-end, based on receiving information from all sensors on the front, such as radar and ground-based and aerial electro-optical sensors, analysis and decision making, And automatically produces requests for damage to targets, including analysis of stocks of available sources of fire and the creation of priorities for their use, and reported that the instructions are being transmitted to combat forces, including unmanned systems.
