Sky Shield is an advanced airborne electronic warfare system for fighter jets developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel.


Sky Shield Electronic Warfare System
The electronic warfare pod is an all-inclusive multi-purpose escort jammer and electronic attack system. Sky Shield engages enemy radars in hostile environments, providing comprehensive electronic countermeasures against enemy threats. The system creates a corridor for multiple attacking aircraft, thus increasing aircraft survivability in time and providing attack options. The Sky Shield pod covers frequency spectrum range from D band to KU band and includes a digital interferometer system for signal detection, a DRFM based technique generator and a modular solid-state active electronically scanned array transmitter for jamming.

The system was purchased by the Brazilian Air Force in 2006 for its AMX A-1 fighter aircraft for SEAD missions.

In February 2022, Rafael announced finalization of the development and conduction of flight test of a new generation of Sky Shield for an undisclosed customer

RAFAEL recently released details about a new towed active decoy, designed to protect combat aircraft from radar seeking threats, such as semi-active and active (radar) homing air/air and surface/air missiles. The system called X-Guard lures the attacking missiles away from the protected platform, by creating an attractive false target signal which diverts the homing missile from the platform. The smart decoy is designed to defeat advanced tracking techniques, including modern “Monopulse and Look on Receive-Only (LORO) techniques. The system is linked to the aircraft’s defensive avionics and EW system through a fiber-optic cable operates over a wide frequency range, to counter various types of radars and missiles. The decoy is retrievable and can be deployed several times during a mission.
