Lockheed Martin will continue to produce Symphony radio-controlled improvised explosive device (RC-IED) defeat jammer systems for the US Navy under an initial $40.8m contract.

Lockheed Martin Radar Systems vice-president Carl Bannar said the Symphony was mounted on convoy vehicles and had been proven in combat against radio-controlled IEDs.

“The system was engineered and built to provide continuous electronic force protection against RC-IEDs in the most rugged, tactical and extreme environments,” he said.

Symphony can be easily installed, operated and maintained on the diverse set of platforms used by security forces worldwide.
