Harris Corporation recently announced that it has secured a $400 million increase in the ceiling value of a single-award IDIQ (Indefinite Deliverable Indefinite Quantity) contract during fourth-quarter fiscal 2018, taking the tally to $491 million. The deal entails supply of electronic warfare (EW) systems for international F-16 fighters to help protect the aircraft fleet against current and evolving electronic threats. The company has delivered EW solutions for a variety of airborne platforms for more than 60 years by enabling missions for strategic bombers, tactical fighters and rotary aircrafts. This allows the company to employ added F-16 electronic warfare system upgrades worldwide.
Per the deal, Harris will provide AN/ALQ-211(V)4/9 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS) systems, spares and engineering support to allied countries as part of a Foreign Military Sales contract through the U.S. Air Force. The ALQ-211 detects lethal threats and provides multi-spectral situational awareness. It establishes a threat range from the mission aircraft when the aircrew encounters a probable danger, and if an aircraft is in lethal range of the threat, it initiates an instantaneous response.
The ALQ-211 coordinates the response for laser and infrared threats, providing an integrated approach to aircraft self-protection. It is deployed into the CV-22 Osprey Special Operations aircraft, Norwegian NH 90 multi-mission helicopter and is currently on board in international F-16 fighters for Chile, Poland, Pakistan, Turkey and Oman. The Harris AIDEWS system provides allies with sophisticated, high-performance electronic protection and offers the flexibility needed to meet unique mission needs.
