More anti-jamming sub-systems on way for Navy fighters: Exelis is to begin Lot 11 full-rate production of an electronic jamming sub-system that protects F/A-18C/D Hornet and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters.
Exelis' ALQ-214(V)4/5 is part of the integrated defensive electronic counter-measures, or IDECM, suite that protects the U.S. Navy aircraft from radio frequency threats, such as hostile radar and air defense systems.
Exelis says the technology enables operations in contested environments to address anti-access/area denial challenges.
