The company has also been awarded a €65 million contract to supply its Vehicular C-Guard System to the Spanish MOD
August 5, 2019. Netline Communications Technologies Ltd. – a leading developer and manufacturer of high-end electronic warfare and spectrum dominance systems for defense forces and homeland security agencies – is supplying its C-Guard Reactive Jamming (RJ) Manpack system to the IDF. The system is already being operated by the IDF, and is also in ongoing use by ground forces in NATO countries, Asia and Africa.
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), such as roadside bombs activated by radio-controlled devices (namely cell phones), have become a common threat in today’s asymmetric warfare, as they are easy to make. Netline’s reactive jamming system provides frontline forces with a real-time counter-IED solution.
Easily carried into the battlefield, the C-Guard RJ Manpack system detects and prevents IED activation attempts. The system creates a secured zone around the soldiers on the frontline, reacting to real-time situational electronic warfare (EW) threats by both detecting the threat and providing an immediate response of jamming RF signals that are attempting to detonate the IED. The solution’s advantages include superior reactive jamming capabilities, wide coverage, simple operation by an individual soldier to provide protection of personnel within a specific radius, and better overall control of the operational situation, all without requiring any additional hardware.
Netline has also recently secured a €65 million contract with the Spanish Ministry of Defense. In a show of confidence similar to the IDF’s, both in Netline and its advanced jamming capabilities, this is a major contract to supply the C-Guard RJ vehicle system for use in all military corps of the Spanish Armed Forces, due to begin in December 2019.
“We are proud that the IDF and the Spanish MOD have chosen our life-saving systems to protect their forces in a variety of operational missions,” says Yallon Bahat, CEO of Netline. “For us, this is further evidence that our strategic decision to invest in the development of high-end EW technologies is bearing fruit. We have succeeded in bringing the message of EW defensive measures to the ground tactical arena, and will continue to invest in advanced generations to provide solutions for future threats in this field.”
If you’re looking for swag from the new Vietnam War flick from Australia, “Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan” then Platatac has you covered.
My favorite item is the Claymore Bag. The materials are updated and it’s better construction than the one you swiped for use as a shower kit bag. It’s also emblazoned with the movie’s logo.

Excellence in Tactical Training.
I drove to Fayetteville yesterday to attend the Raptor Tactical Grand Opening.
Adjacent to their factory, the new showroom is fairly small, but well put together.
There are several iPads throughout the store to allow customers to see the entire line in case something isn’t out front.
For the grand opening, Raptor invited several local businesses to set up displays in the parking lot, creating a mini trade show event.
Wilmont Knives showcased their SKARN folders.
Adventure Tactical displayed their light systems including their latest model, the Trilobyte.
A-TACS showed off their latest clothing, including a new line of hats with different unit insignia embroidered on the front. Soon, they’ll have more caps sporting SF unit crests with Group Numbers.
Delphi Tactical was more than happy to talk guns.
Delphi Tactical supports the Memorial 3 Gun Foundation.
The Fayetteville Chapter of A Girl & A Gun, a shooting league of their own, also set up a booth.
They had a great turn out, with lots of activities, holding hourly giveaways with some great door prizes.
For mom and dad, there was beer.
And for the kids, a bouncey castle.
Be sure to stop by next time you are in town. Their new storefront is located at 704 Festus Ave in Fayetteville, just off of Yadkin Road.
