Harris receives airborne jammer order
The US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has awarded Harris an order worth $97 million to provide self-protection airborne jammers for the Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) programme, the company announced on 20 August.
Under the order, the company will provide its ALQ-214 radio frequency integrated countermeasure system, which is already being used by the navy to protect its carrier-based F/A-18 aircraft from sophisticated RF threats such as air defence systems and hostile radars.
This latest order is for the 12th full-rate production lot of the system. Forty-six spare weapons replaceable assemblies will be installed in new and existing aircraft. The order also includes assembly repairs and field support. An option for the 13th lot is expected to exercised in 2016.
Ed Zoiss, president, Harris Electronic Systems, said: ‘The ALQ-214 is one of the most capable airborne jamming systems ever built. In the complex, contested battlespaces our aviators face, it is a critical element of their ability to outpace evolving electronic threats and maintain a strategic edge.’
