Over the last 30 years or more, the contractor-provided electronic warfare (EW) aircraft and target tow services have been used by the US navy in support of critical naval missions and the surface ship weapons system test and evaluation programme.

Tempus is planning to use its new, highly-modified fleet of EW aircraft to extend its services throughout the electronic warfare and specialised services community.
