Project Brief

‘To design a product that increases EW knowledge; enhances company awareness and motivates people

to work for Selex ES’

Problems:• Internal

– The cross department knowledge is low– Big world picture (Systems Overview)– Sites work in an isolated fashion with little knowledge and work sharing– Little celebration of individual and group work within Selex ES– No off the shelf solution for EW demonstrations at desired level

• External– University degrees are not tailored to EW– External knowledge of EW and Selex ES is very poor– Work is restricted in its nature so not available commercially

EW Game/App

An electronic game (perhaps a mobile app)

Players will have to protect a platform (e.g. a Typhoon) from a variety of incoming threats

The player must choose the most effective ECM

Players will gain points based on their performance

Builds a good knowledge of EW

Highly interactive and engaging, especially for young people

Concept 1

19

EM Spectrum Sliding Scale

Interactive touchscreen programme

After selecting an area, information will pop out with information of what this part of the spectrum is used for in the real world.

Relates to current Selex ES products and EW

Concept 2

20

Electronic Board GameConcept 3

A model Typhoon will be placed on a grid

Possible threats will be placed on the grid with the Typhoon.

On a screen there will be a radar simulation to help them detect the possible threats to protect their plane.

Ability to change the radar parameters

A weight sensor or a colour detecting camera.

24

Why should Engineering companies get involved with schools and Universities?

“Engineering companies are projected to have 2.56 million job openings from 2012-2022.”

“This means we need to double the number of engineering apprentices and double the number of people with engineering qualifications such as engineering degrees, in order to meet the demand for engineers.” Tomorrows Engineers

25

Why School Children?“Only 18% of students study A level maths and only 8% study physics” Questions for governors

“Only 12% of parents would recommend an engineering career to their son” FFF

“An even lower 2% of parents would recommend the same to their daughter” FFF

26

Who do we want to be at careers fairs and school events?

27

What Selex ES already do?

Marble Run• Pros

– Interactive– Problem solving

• Cons – Doesn’t link to Selex ES – Isn’t engineering related

Geo locator • Pros

– Competitive– Memorable

• Cons – Not very interactive– Doesn’t attract attention

STEM days and small piece • Pros

– In depth involvement – High learning and education

benefits• Cons

– Activities take a long time – Can’t be taken to stall events

Rampaging chariots• Pros

– Interactive – Hands on

• Cons – Doesn’t link to Selex ES– Isn’t very portable

28

Initial Ideas

Classic Board Game• The board would be electronic and interactive. • The aim is to get your plane from the ‘enemy’ territory to the

homeland

• LED’s turn on, showing positions of enemy RADAR’s

• If you are one space away from an enemy RADAR, press button to select threat

• Then see which ECM you can use such as BriteCloud, flares, chaff etc

• If your ECM matches the threat, the threat is neutralised and you survive the ‘round’

31

Initial Ideas

Reaction Game • Strips of LEDs leading to a central plane represent different types of threats • Buttons corresponding to these threats indicate the four different countermeasures

they can release.• During the game the player presses the button corresponding to the correct strip of

LEDs, and the threats increase in speed• When the player fails to press the button the ‘Game over’ screen appears and the

player’s time is recorded. Their time and name are then placed on the leader board.

Radar Detection Game • The threats are plugged into the board.• The player uses the radar screen to guess where the threats could be

placed.• They type in the grid coordinates.• When each threat coordinate is found the LED light on the threat turns off

and the player is notified on the laptop screen.• When all the threats have been found the timer stops and the players

name and time is placed on a leader board.

32

Initial Ideas Evaluation

Positives of Reaction Game The game could be quick The game could be visualThe programming was feasible.The hardware design was feasible Easy to implement EW knowledge within the game

Negatives of Radar DetectionThe programming and hardware wasn’t as feasibleDoesn’t link perfectly to Selex ES

Negatives of Classic Board Game Would have taken too long to play the gameIt wasn’t very modern It was very Electronic or visual

Introduction

Skip Intro

Your mission is to protect the typhoon from the incoming threatsDo this by deploying the correct electronic countermeasure in timeThe threats will speed up, and your score will depend on how long you lastGood luck!

44

BriteCloud

The red lights indicate that you are being attacked by a Radio Frequency tracking missile.You need to release your Britecloud, Radio Frequency deployed decoy.Red Button!

45

Flares

The yellow lights indicate that you are being attacked by a Heat seeking missile.You need to release your Flares, the heat from the flares throw the missile off course.Yellow

Button!

46

Chaff

The Green lights indicate that you have been identified by a unknown radar signal.You need to release Chaff, small pieces of metal, used to cloud the enemy radar screen.Green Button!

47

DIRCM

The blue lights indicate a laser following missile is locked onto your typhoon.DIRCM deflects IR-Guided missiles by aiming a laser back at the threat and confusing it.Blue Button!

BriteCloudBriteCloud Expendable Active Decoy (EAD) is a compact, DRFM-based active RF countermeasure that has the capability to defeat the majority of RF-guided surface-to-air and air-to-air threat systems. BriteCloud is designed to be dispensed from standard chaff/flare dispensers and therefore requires minimal platform integration. Utilising advanced techniques it is effective against active and semi-active RF seekers, and fire control radars. 

More Info Menu

73

HIDASHelicopter Integrated Defensive Aids System (HIDAS) combines a radar and laser warning receiver, missile warning system and chaff and flares. It is fitted to UK Chinook and Puma helicopters, as well as UK and exported Apache helicopters. Using multi-spectral sensors and pre-loaded intelligence to produce comprehensive tactical pictures of the operational environment,

More Info Menu

HIDAS rapidly identifies hostile systems and initiates appropriate countermeasures.

74

Miysis DIRCMMiysis, the latest generation Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) System, is a readily exportable countermeasures device providing assured, persistent protection from IR-guided missiles, including advanced, all-aspect Man Portable Air Defence Systems (MANPADS). Suitable for any platform, Miysis can be configured as either a fully integrated or podded solution.
