Czech defense technology company ERA, part of OMNIPOL Group, has presented its EW-DEC electronic warfare system at Future Forces Forum 2026 in Prague, introducing a radar decoy designed to protect military surveillance and air defense assets from enemy detection and attack.

Developed by the Pardubice-based company, EW-DEC emits electromagnetic signals that imitate the characteristics and behavior of operational military radars. The system is intended to mislead enemy reconnaissance platforms and targeting systems by creating false radar signatures on the battlefield.

The presentation marks the system's Czech debut, following its initial international launch at the EW Live 2026 electronic warfare exercise in Estonia in September.

## How EW-DEC Protects Military Radars

The system uses compact transmitter units that can be deployed near operational radars to create additional electromagnetic signatures resembling genuine military equipment.

An adversary monitoring the electromagnetic spectrum may consequently identify several apparent radar positions without being able to immediately distinguish decoys from actual surveillance systems.

According to ERA, multiple EW-DEC transmitters can operate simultaneously, using coordinated timing and remote control to create a complex artificial electronic order of battle. The configuration is intended to divert enemy reconnaissance resources and potentially draw attacks away from more valuable radar installations.

Each transmitter unit weighs up to 25 kilograms and is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -32°C to +55°C. The system supports user-configurable signals across multiple frequency bands.

ERA says the equipment has been developed with cost efficiency in mind, allowing deployment in frontline environments where equipment losses must be anticipated.

Beyond battlefield protection, EW-DEC can be used for electronic warfare training, testing of electronic support systems and simulation of opposing radar assets during military exercises.

## ERA Expands Beyond Passive Surveillance

The introduction of EW-DEC represents an expansion of ERA's product portfolio into active electromagnetic deception.

The Czech company is internationally known for passive surveillance technologies, including the VERA-NG system, which detects and tracks electromagnetic emissions without transmitting radar signals of its own.

Unlike these passive systems, EW-DEC actively emits signals to imitate radar operations and create false targets.

The development adds an electronic deception capability to OMNIPOL Group's defense technology portfolio at a time when protecting radar installations against reconnaissance and precision strikes remains a central requirement for modern air defense operations.

ERA has not publicly disclosed a unit price, production volume or confirmed customer contract associated with EW-DEC's presentation in Prague.
