Arexis is Saab’s new Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) product concept supporting fighter aircraft requirements.

It provides the aircrew with essential situational awareness for self-protection due to its RWR, and tactical support via its ISR capabilities. The situational awareness provided enhances the survivability of the platform together with the aid of the appropriate ECM.

Arexis is based on wideband digital technology specifically developed for robustness in the very complex signal environment of today. The core technologies in Arexis are ultra-wideband digital receivers and digital radio frequency memory devices, gallium nitride (GaN) solid state active electronically scanned array (AESA) jammer transmitters and interferometric direction finding systems.

Arexis products are adapted to fighter aircraft installation and environmental requirements. The architecture supports multi-function integration with other fighter aircraft sensors and countermeasures. One version of Arexis will be installed on board the new version of the

Gripen fighter, Gripen E/F.

Arexis also includes an advanced Electronic Attack (EA) application, with EW technologies adapted to the lower frequency ranges that are required to jam modern anti-stealth air defence systems. The EA application provides high output power and is packed in a pod to make it a role-specific solution.

Saab is one of the world’s premier suppliers of products and services for defence and civil security applications with over 60 years’ experience in Electronic Warfare (EW) and implementing complex EW projects worldwide - in air, land and sea domains.
