A set of Chinese integrated electronic countermeasure system made its debut at the ongoing 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, in the southern coastal city of Zhuhai.
The sand table of the electronic countermeasure system integrating various means to combat and interfere, such as communication countermeasure, radar countermeasure, and optoelectronic countermeasure, is on display at the booth of China Electronics Corporation (CEC).
"The sand table is also called electronic air defense system. This device is a jamming station against the radar of airborne early warning aircraft. It can reduce the detection capability of early warning aircraft by 70 to 80 percent. This is a jammer for the command, navigation and jamming groups, which mainly destroys the enemy's command link, communication link and data link," said Pan Shilong, vice general manager at sales support department of the ELINC China Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of CEC.
The sand table showcases a regional integrated electronic information system composed of 35 types of equipment, which simulates and restores the combat scenario of ground-to-air electronic countermeasures, according to Pan.
Multiple devices such as jamming stations and jammers in the sand table formed a joint operating group to detect the enemy's position in advance, after which jamming equipment can interfere with the targets, thereby weakening or destroying the effectiveness of the enemy's electronic equipment, said Pan.
"Different from the previous air defense systems that were mainly based on hard kill, we are now mainly focusing on soft kill. With two years of development, we have got the ability to systematize these equipment and have achieved remarkable results in the international market. The level of our equipment can meet the needs of international users," said Pan.

The U.S. military strike against Venezuela and capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro, has shocked the international community, triggering a steady stream of condemnation and serious concerns worldwide.
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain issued a joint statement on Sunday, expressing serious concern about and firm opposition to the U.S. unilateral military operations in Venezuela.
The U.S. actions contravene fundamental principles of international law, particularly the prohibition on the use or threat of force, and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, as enshrined in the UN Charter, constituting an extremely dangerous precedent against peace and regional security, according to the statement.
In expressing profound concern and firm rejection, the six countries stressed in the statement that the situation in Venezuela must be resolved exclusively by peaceful means, and through dialogue, negotiation and respect for the will of the Venezuelan people in all its expressions, without external interference and in accordance with international law.
Only an inclusive political process, led by Venezuelans, can lead to a democratic, sustainable solution that respects human dignity, according to the statement.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez condemned the U.S. raid in Venezuela as a violation of international law, adding that the Spanish government always advocates and defends international law and peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Addressing a meeting of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez demanded the unconditional and immediate release of Maduro and his wife.
Noting that Latin America and the Caribbean are a zone of peace, he expressed his firm opposition to the use of force, which is an unshakable principle.
Any aggression against Venezuela shall be regarded as an attack against all CELAC member states, and nations must collectively oppose it, he stressed.
The South African government denounced the U.S. attack on Venezuela as a violation of international law, according to a statement released on Sunday.
History has repeatedly demonstrated that military invasions against sovereign states yield only instability and deepening crisis, the statement said.
South Africa calls on the UN Security Council to urgently convene a session to address this situation, according to the statement.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said what happened in Venezuela demonstrates that international law and the UN Charter are losing their practical effectiveness.
U.S. military action against Venezuela marks a dangerous precedent, as similar actions could be taken against any other nations, he said.
In addition, the foreign ministries of Namibia, Singapore, Oman and Pakistan also issued statements on the same day, expressing grave concern over U.S. interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.
They emphasized the need to uphold international law and the principles of the UN Charter while respecting Venezuela's sovereignty.
They also called on all parties to exercise restraint and resolve the crisis through peaceful dialogue.
