The U.S. Marine Corps has received an amphibious combat vehicle variant from BAE Systems and will test the performance of the new model in command-and-control mission scenarios. BAE developed the ACV-Command platform with workstations to support on-the-move digital communications and analysis work for combat operations.

Mercury Systems has introduced a new rackmount server technology designed to withstand harsh environments and ensure the integrity of data for artificial intelligence and electronic warfare applications.

The U.S. Navy has asked industry for insights to help inform an analysis effort seeking to identify potential vertical lift alternatives as it prepares to replace its existing fleet of Sikorsky-built MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopters and Northrop Grumman-made MQ-8B/C Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicles, FlightGlobal reported Friday.

Northrop Grumman has been awarded a contract from Lockheed Martin to enable new functionality that supports the 5th Generation F-35 Lightning II multi-role fighter. BAE Systems is also part of the collaborative agreement. Northrop, Lockheed and BAE will equip the fighter jet with Northrop’s AN/ASQ-242 Integrated Communications, Navigation and Identification (ICNI) and BAE’s AN/ASQ-239 Electronic Warfare/Countermeasures (EW/CM) system to deliver optimal operational utility.

PAE has secured a potential five-year, $98 million contract for electronic warfare operations training and infrastructure maintenance support to the U.S. Air Forces in Europe & Air Forces Africa. The company said Thursday it received a $55.7 million initial task order under the single-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract to help USAFE-AFAFRICA manage EW range infrastructure located in Germany and facilitate mobile training across Africa and Europe.

The U.S. Army has released a request for information in support of its plan to implement an integration framework for electronic warfare systems, seeking data for designing, building, integrating, testing and maintaining the EW Planning and Management Tool system. The service branch said Tuesday in a SAM notice it wants to integrate EW systems into a unified, modular platform by further developing the tool.

Raytheon Technologies' intelligence and space unit has embarked on a project to develop a threat detection approach for military aircraft operators that will fuse electronic warfare, cyber and signals intelligence tools into a single open-architecture system, dubbed Converged EW.

Northrop Grumman has updated its ALQ-131C electronic countermeasures pod to include an exportable framework and a digital electronic warfare architecture to support operations across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The U.S. Army has issued a draft solicitation seeking industry support to develop and modernize electronic warfare, cyber space and signal capabilities, Inside Defense reported Monday.

Mercury Systems has unveiled an electronic system offering that features customizable elements to support technologies used in electronic warfare, radar and 5G network applications.

BAE Systems and Leonardo have been awarded a potential $420M contract to develop the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), the European Common Radar System Mark 2 (ECRS Mk2) for the Royal Air Force's (RAF) Eurofighter Typhoons, BAE said Thursday. Under the contract, the two companies will work to develop a standard radar to be integrated on to RAF Typhoons.

Steve Schorer, chairman and CEO of Alion Science and Technology and a previous Wash100 awardee, said the acquisition of MacAulay-Brown has helped the company to focus more on technology work, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence and electronic warfare, Inside Defense reported Tuesday.

The U.S. Navy has demonstrated a Raytheon Technologies-built jamming system aboard an EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft for the first time at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland.

The U.S. Army awarded other transaction agreements to Boeing and Lockheed Martin in the last two months to begin the initial phase of prototyping for the Terrestrial Layer System program that seeks to deploy a ground-based platform to deliver cyber, electronic warfare and signals intelligence capabilities to brigades, C4ISRNET reported Thursday.

Mercury Systems has unveiled a new ultra-wideband electronic warfare tool that complies with modern standards of the sensor open systems architecture.
