A coalition of German defense companies successfully conducted the country's first aerial demonstration of electromagnetic warfare capabilities, simulating a malfunction of enemy air defense systems to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians.
A coordinated demonstration was held in Manching by Airbus, bKEC, HENSOLDT, IBM, MBDA, PLATH, Rohde & Schwarz and Schönhofer. It showed how manned and unmanned aircraft can use electromagnetic suppression to neutralize enemy radars and communication systems without using kinetic weapons.
The Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, equipped with electromagnetic surveillance and jamming equipment, served as a remote jamming platform. Acting from a safe distance, the PC-12 detected, classified and silenced the SA-8 air defense system, effectively depriving it of combat capabilities. After the threat was suppressed, the simulated Airbus A400M military transport aircraft was able to enter the zone undetected, land and evacuate civilians.
