Raytheon signs Australian EW agreement
Raytheon has signed a project agreement with Australia's Defence Science and Technology (DST) to collaborate on the development of advanced electronic warfare (EW) capabilities for the Australian Defence Force, the company announced on 28 May.
DST Group, Australian industry partners and Raytheon will establish a lab in Adelaide to support the work.
The agreement will see Raytheon provide its Multi-Function Receiver Exciter System test bench, a control system and modelling and simulation environment, which will be used to evolve and test advanced EW techniques.
Along with its electronic attack capability, MFIRES is also a radar warning receiver, providing electronic support and protection. Integrating multiple functions enables system success across the full EW mission by using less power, weight and space, all crucial elements in creating a significant advantage in electronic warfare.
Doug Marimon, director of EW Systems, Raytheon, said: ‘Controlling the electromagnetic spectrum is essential to today's mission success. By combining US and Australian strengths, we enhance our ability to deliver decisive EW capabilities in the Pacific and beyond.’
