ITT Exelis and partner ELTA Systems have won a multi-year, $68 million contract to supply the U.S. Navy and Air Force with an electronic warfare system for countering advanced threats to fighter aircraft.
The branches will use Exelis-developed radio frequency jamming pods for the F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 fleets, Exelis said Thursday.
Pete Martin, director of defense systems at Exelis’ electronic attack and release systems business, said the company aims for the radar jammer to help aircrew address anti-access/area denial challenges.
According to the company, the technology is designed with radar warning receivers and can be operated manually.
