Selex, Saab team for EWOS
Selex ES and Saab have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) solutions, Selex announced on 23 December.
The agreement will see the companies work together to offer existing common customers a more integrated service, with future developments to focus on opening up markets where one partner or the other has a more established presence.
EWOS is the combination of mission support tools, people, specialised training and infrastructures that allows operators to get the most benefit out of their of electronic warfare systems.
Potential future customers for the service are likely to include those countries seeking Saab fighter jets. All currently contracted Saab Gripen Next Generation (NG) fighters will carry the Selex ES Raven ES-05 AESA radar, Skyward-G Infrared Search and Track passive sensor, and Identification Friend-or-Foe systems.
Saab is also offering Selex ES’s new BriteCloud expendable active decoy as an electronic warfare option.
Under the new agreement, the two firms will work together to identify opportunities for developing partnered EWOS solutions, providing customers with a sovereign support capability.
