    Lite Shield

    The Lite Shield is an electronic attack pod that provides full electronic warfare protection for aircraft formations. It implements "close protection" tactics to ensure immediate and flexible electronic attack capabilities. The relatively small pod is equipped with advanced EW components and shields strike formations from detection and engagement prior to completing their mission. As it is mounted on targeting pods, the Lite Shield allows aircraft to carry out strikes and electronic attacks simultaneously without needing dedicated escort jamming aircraft.
