PURPOSE: 
 
The ETM transmitters will be integrated into the CIDACA-R 
ESM/ECM system to be used as a land-based radar 
countermeasures application on a Kazakhstan Army vehicle. 
They will be used to produce a wide bandwidth of radar 
jamming capabilities on a vehicle platform to protect mission 
personnel, equipment, and locations from electronic 
surveillance. 
 
Alava Ingenieros will integrate the transmitters with an 
antenna system and conduct initial RF (radio frequency) 
testing prior to shipping the transmitters and antenna to 
Indra Sistemas.  Indra will conduct final system integration 
with other system electronics into a mechanical structure 
within a radome and ship the final system (the CIDACA-R 
ESM/ECM) to the MOD Kazakhstan.
