Harris announces US Navy jammer order
Harris Corporation has received an $88 million order from the US Navy for the supply of electronic jammers for the Super Hornet and F/A-18 Hornet multirole aircraft, the company announced on 29 April.
The contract will see Harris manufacture and deliver 48 AN/ALQ-214(V)4/5 on-board electronic warfare jamming systems for the navy's Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) programme.
The jammers are designed protect fighter jets from sophisticated electronic threats, including modern integrated air defence systems.
Ed Zoiss, president, Harris Electronic Systems, said: ‘Naval aviators face a growing range of threats as their missions evolve and hostile actors gain access to increasingly advanced technology. Harris has helped keep aviators safe from emerging threats for more than 18 years, and we remain firmly committed to supporting their critical missions.’
Deliveries under this order are expected to be complete by December 2018.
