Babcock nears first customer for Nomad AI translation tool
Nomad can provide militaries with real-time intelligence, saving critical time on the battlefield.
Selex ES’ SEER digital Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) self-protection system has been put through its paces on Czech Air Force L-159 Advanced Light Combat Aircraft (ALCA) during the NATO Tactical Leadership Programme (TLP) exercise at Los Llanos Air Base, Albacete, Spain.
The system was integrated into two Czech L-159 ALCA aircraft in under three hours, utilising the existing wiring and antennas of the legacy Selex ES Sky Guardian 200 system, demonstrating the system’s open architecture design and retrofit capabilities.
During the four-week exercise - held to increase the effectiveness of ten participating air forces – SEER supported the Czech flying programme, identifying air, land and sea-based threats at significant ranges with a ‘high degree of accuracy’.
Selex ES Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) staff provided the Czech Air Force with updated mission data files before each flight based on information and intelligence that had been gathered during the previous mission. This provided pilots with a greater and more accurate picture of the threat environment enabling them to adapt to a variety of tasks during the programme.
According to Selex ES, SEER performed ‘precisely as expected’ with 100 percent reliability throughout the exercise.
