The Lite Shield is a relatively small, electronic attack pod that implements “close protection” to ensure immediate, flexible and constantly available electronic attack capability and response.  It is equipped with the most advanced EW components, which shield the strike formation from being detected and engaged prior to completing its mission.
 

The Lite Shield is mounted on an aircraft’s targeting pod station, therefore enabling the jamming aircraft to carry out the primary mission and the electronic attack simultaneously, conserving coordination and resources.  The Lite Shield enhances air force attack without impinging on space for the weapons payload.
