Suter (computer program)

Suter is a computer system that has been developed by BAE Systems and to attack enemy computer networks and communication systems. The specific application is the fault of integrated air defense systems. The project was led by Big Safari, a division of the United States Air Force.

Three generations of Suter developed so far. Suter 1 allows operators to monitor the radar surveillance with the enemy. Suter 2 also allows the acquisition of control of enemy networks and sensors. The tested system in summer 2006 Suter 3 also allows the acquisition of the communication links strategic objectives of the enemy, such as stationary or mobile air defense missiles.

The Suter system has been tested with aircraft such as the EC- 130, RC -135 and the F- 16CJ. It has been actively used since 2006 in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Representatives of the U.S. Air Force have speculated a similar technology could have been used by the Israeli military to set Syrian radars during surgery Orchard on 6 September 2007 out of action when Israeli fighter jets penetrated Syrian airspace and according to official Israeli sources a military facility bombed. The suspicion seems warranted to the extent, as the the F -15 and F -16 fighter jets of the IAF are not equipped with stealth technology and actually had by the Syrian radar systems need to be identified, which are in turn based on Russian technology.
