KVERTUS LTEJ MIRAGE

Also known as
  • Mirage
  • LTEJ MIRAGE
  • KVERTUS Mirage

KVERTUS LTEJ MIRAGE is a Ukrainian smart electronic-warfare jammer built around modular counter-UAV bands. Kvertus describes it as the jamming half of Atlas with MS Azimuth, and KSE and Janes tie Atlas deployments to Ukrainian front-line units in the Russia-Ukraine War.

Role in Conflicts

What Makes It Distinct

Kvertus positions LTEJ MIRAGE as the smart EW half of Atlas. The system is built to work from MS Azimuth target data rather than as a simple blanket jammer.

FeatureDocumented detailWhy it matters
Atlas roleWorks with KVERTUS MS Azimuth detectionLets the operator program interference from detected target parameters.
Frequency coverage300-6000 MHz across 14 band combinationsGives operators several selectable bands instead of a single fixed setting.
Antenna modesDirectional and omnidirectional antennas can operate simultaneouslySupports coverage around protected assets from different directions.
Range contextKvertus cites long-range Atlas operation, while ATLAS-1300 separates MS Azimuth detection range from LTEJ MIRAGE suppression rangePrevents the detection and jamming ranges from being read as the same measurement.

Kvertus and ATLAS-1300 describe MS Azimuth as the component that detects and identifies UAV control and video links so LTEJ MIRAGE can apply interference against the identified bands.
