ELECTRONIC WEAPONS: Israeli AWACS Rapidly Evolves May 16, 2021: In April 2021 Israel presented Oron, which appears to be a new version of its air force AWACs (Airborne Early Warning Aircraft) aircraft, but is equipped to detect and locate ground targets instead of manage air combat like an AWACS. Israel did not release many details on Oron, as in how many or an equipment list, but did describe it as meant to be used over combat zones where there was a lot of enemy activity to locate and identify so it could be quickly attacked. Oron uses much more powerful software to quickly analyze what is being detected down below and determine what targets are there and whether they are stationary or moving. This is similar to the system pioneered for submarines where a large library of previously identified sounds are stored in fast access hard drives or memory. Current systems use SSD (Solid State Drives) that access the data almost as fast as it does when data is stored in system memory. Oron uses this as well as machine learning (“neural networks”) that learn from current experience. The Israelis claim that Oron sensors and processing systems can locate and identify targets faster and more accurately, in any weather or light conditions, that any similar targeting system.
