PUCA Ultralight ECM
Personal Electronic Warfare/Electric Countermeasures Device

• The Puca is designed to be a multi-use, ultralight ECM/EW/SIGINT/DF device.  The primary objective is to support and protect dismounted troops (down to individuals, fire teams, and squads) in multiple types of terrain from radio controlled improvised explosive devices (RCIED).

​​

• The initial Puca prototypes were lightweight (5lbs) analog jammers capable of cellphone and WiFi defeat between 5m and 20m. The version in development is a networked, software-defined, multiband, multifunctional ECM and SIGINT sensor. Being developed to connect to current GOTS/COTS systems and networks, populate actionable information, provide an EW capability to incidental operators and networked EW command & control.

​​

• The rechargeable, battery powered, lightweight capability provides 360 degree capabilities on the go to maintain utmost responsiveness to varied geographic areas and a technically adept enemy.

​

• The goal is a MILSPEC, low profile unit, decreasing the weight of current and upcoming platforms at a cost-effective price while providing pervasive EW capabilities. The graphics on this page relate (top) to the V1/V2 analog prototypes and (bottom) a non-proprietary representative schematic.
