Czech company ERA displays EW-DEC electronic warfare system

Czech company ERA, part of the Omnipol Group, displayed its EW-DEC electronic-warfare decoy at the Future Forces Forum in Prague on October 21–23, 2026. Unlike a passive surveillance receiver, the portable device deliberately transmits configurable electromagnetic signatures that imitate real radars, drawing hostile sensors and precision weapons away from protected equipment. Weighing up to 25 kilograms, EW-DEC is intended for forward deployment near friendly radars, with multiple remotely controlled units able to synchronise emissions and create a more complex false radar picture. The exhibition introduced the product's proposed deception capabilities, not a confirmed operational deployment or combat-performance result.
