THE BIG STORY
SEWIP Block 2 is an evolutionary acquisition and incremental development program to upgrade the existing AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare system.
EW TECHNOLOGIES
DARPA experts want promising technologies to improve resilience, responsiveness, range, lethality, access, endurance, and affordability.
The LCEI should be autonomous aircraft, avionics, and sensors with hard-kill systems effective against groups 1, 2, and smaller group 3 aircraft.
BlackHorse engineers will concentrate on improved RF sensing systems for situational awareness and targeting applications in MuSTeR research program.
The three Zumwalt-class destroyers are stealth ships that focus on land attack, surface warfare, anti-aircraft warfare, and naval gunfire support.
EW CONTRACTS
The LRASM seeker has long-range sensors and targeting that help the stealthy missile find and engage protected enemy ships amid jamming and spoofing.
SEWIP will upgrade the existing AN/SLQ-32(V) surface warship EW system and provide improved anti-ship missile defense and situational awareness.
Combining Thales radio and Persistent MANET network use a radio-over-IP capability to link the Thales radio to the Persistent wireless network.
M109A7 uses the existing main armament and cab structure of a Paladin M109A6, and adds modem components common to the M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
EW PRODUCTS
A mean time between failures (MTBF) increase of 10 times that of the TWT it replaces is achieved for improved reliability and low maintenance costs.
These 4-by-3-millimeter devices use embedded fuse and heater elements that interrupt the charging or discharging circuit to protect the battery pack.
Developed at Cornell Dubilier's technology center in Liberty, S.C., these ratings come with enhanced ripple current capability to 3.7 amps.
LEMO combines a compact, lightweight, and robust connector shell with gold-plated high-power contacts for reliability in high-vibration applications.
