Diehl Defence has been awarded a contract for the delivery of the HPEM (High-Power Electromagnetic) SkyWolf counter-small-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system by an undisclosed customer in Africa.

The HPEM SkyWolf consists of a pulsed high-power radio-frequency (RF) effector combined with a barrage jammer system, and is capable of variable defeat modes against small UAVs depending on the range at which it is employed. The system can be integrated with a variety of user-defined sensors to locate targets. Typical options include automatic target recognition-enabled day cameras, IR sights, direction-finders, or radars.

Once the targets have been detected and tracked, SkyWolf's effector is free to carry out engagement with its high-power radio wave effector, which consists of an RF signal pulse generator linked to a large horn antenna. The RF effector emits a pulsed high-power electromagnetic (EM) field to defeat UAVs, and can also provide a jamming effect in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio band. A separate global navigation satellite system (GNSS) jammer is also available, if required, to ensure a more predictable jamming effect at various ranges.
