Type: ew

Domain: land

Country of Origin: Egypt

Manufacturer: Arab Organization for Industrialization

First Deployed: 2022

Overview

Egyptian indigenously-developed unmanned electronic warfare and jamming system representing domestic capability in electromagnetic spectrum operations. Haris-2 (Guardian-2) developed by Egyptian defense industry unveiled at defense exhibitions 2020s with production and fielding to Egyptian Armed Forces. Features unmanned platform (likely truck-mounted or trailer) carrying electronic warfare systems for jamming enemy communications, disrupting enemy radar systems, protecting friendly forces from RF-guided weapons, signals intelligence gathering, and potentially counter-drone operations jamming UAV control links. Specific technical details limited but system represents Egyptian priority in electronic warfare as modern warfare increasingly electromagnetic spectrum dependent. Egyptian Haris-2 likely deploys with forward units providing tactical electronic warfare support, protects strategic installations from enemy reconnaissance and targeting, and supports offensive operations degrading enemy command and control. Indigenous development provides technological independence in sensitive electronic warfare domain where export restrictions common. Continuous development likely improving jamming capabilities, frequency coverage, and potentially integration with cyber warfare tools. Potential export opportunities to partners seeking indigenous EW capabilities. Represents Egyptian recognition of electronic warfare importance demonstrated in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, and other recent conflicts where electronic warfare decisive. Future Egyptian EW programmes may include airborne platforms and more sophisticated systems.
