By GlobalDataThe EW upgrade programme will allow the US Navy to better defend its ships by actively blocking incoming missiles, use of cue decoys and rapidly adjust to growing threats.
According to the US Navy, the electronic attack portion’s enhancements are projected to offer integrated countermeasures against radio frequency-guided threats.
These improvements will also help in extending the frequency range coverage.
The EW system will be software-defined. In contrast to analogue radars of the past, the transmitters and receivers can be adjusted to transmit and receive various waveforms, increasing the adaptability of the system.
The system will feature non-kinetic electronic attack options capability that can be further used in other critical areas.
