HAIFA, Israel. The Israeli Navy, in collaboration with Elbit Systems, has successfully concluded sea trials for the DESEAVER MK-4 Counter Measure Dispensing System (CMDS) aboard Israeli Navy vessels, Elbit Systems announced in a statement. The trials marked the assessment of the fourth generation of maritime Electronic Warfare (EW) systems in real-world scenarios.

During the trials, the DESEAVER MK-4 system was tested against missile attack situations involving the launch of decoy rounds from various launchers to counter multiple simultaneous threats, the company says.

The DESEAVER MK-4 system utilizes trainable and stabilized launchers capable of swiftly and accurately placing and launching selected decoys, guided by anti-missile algorithms, and employs a mix of passive and active decoys, the statement reads.
