The Egyptian Armed Forces displayed a new mobile electronic warfare (EW) system for the first time during a parade marking the October 1973 war with Israel.

The system was labelled as the GSY2210 and the announcer for the television coverage of the parade said it was a radio communications reconnaissance and jamming system that had been made in South Africa and entered Egyptian service in 2011.

While the GSY2210 has never been heard of before, the GSY 1450, GSY 1501 and GSY 1800 systems were made by the South African company Grintek Ewation, which is now GEW Technologies.
