Kaktus is a ground-based reconnaissance and jamming system designed to conduct electronic warfare in the field of electronic reconnaissance (ESM) and electronic countermeasures (ECM).
The prototype KAKTUS set in the KAKTUS-MO version (operational module) was developed in the years 2007–2010 by a consortium consisting of: the Institute of Communication of the Faculty of Electronics of the Military University of Technology, the Military Institute of Communications and the companies WITPiS, KenBIT, Thales, Rodhe&Schwartz, Bonn Elektronik, Poynting, Transbit, WAREL, Jelcz S.A. and WZM S.A. The aim of the program was to construct a modern automated system for conducting electronic warfare (EW) by WE battalions at the operational level in the HF range (1-30 MHz) and at the tactical level in the HF, VHF, UHF range (1-3000 MHz). The system meets the requirements of the modern battlefield, NATO standards meet the requirements of interoperability with automated command systems used in the Polish Army and NATO troops.[1][2][3]
In 2017, the procedure for the development and delivery of two serial Kaktus MO reconnaissance and jamming systems for the Polish Armed Forces was initiated.[2]
