Babcock nears first customer for Nomad AI translation tool
Nomad can provide militaries with real-time intelligence, saving critical time on the battlefield.
Leidos has been awarded a $58.91 million contract modification by US Naval Air Systems Command, to develop adaptive radar countermeasure software and firmware (ARC SW/FW) capabilities and integrate these on the AN/ALQ-214A electronic countermeasures subsystem.
Leidos will carry out work on the contract at six US sites, for completion by February 2024.
ARC SW/FW supplements F/A-18C/D/E/F survivability in the presence of RF-guided SAM and air-to-air weapons systems.
The latest version of the AN/ALQ-214A provides an enhanced capability for USN and RAAF F/A-18s in a smaller and lighter form factor, according to Shephard Defence Insight.
