Harris to provide electronic warfare (EW) systems for Morocco's F-16 jet fighter fleet

PALM BAY, Fla. – Military aviation experts of the Royal Moroccan Air Force (RMAF) in Rabat, Morocco, needed airborne electronic warfare (EW) systems to help protect the RMAF F-16 jet fighter aircraft fleet from enemy radar-guided missiles. They found their solution from the Harris Corp. Electronic Systems segment in Palm Bay, Fla.

Harris won a $91 contract from the U.S. Air Force Warner Robins Air Logistics Center at Robins Air Force Base, Ga., to provide AN/ALQ-211 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS) systems to the Moroccan air force.

Harris will supply AIDEWS systems, spares and support equipment and services to Morocco. The combat-ready ALQ-211(V)4 integrated radar warning and RF countermeasures to alert pilots to missile launches, and then spoof and jam the missiles' electronic guidance systems.

AIDEWS is built on the ALQ-211 family of electronic warfare systems that support U.S. and allied military helicopters and jet fighters, including the NH-90, V-22, MH-47, MH-60, F-16, and several commercial aircraft.
