MANCHESTER, N.H. – BAE Systems has opened a 200,000-square-foot engineering and production facility in Manchester, N.H., to support electronic warfare (EW) systems design for the U.S. military and U.S. allies.

The advanced EW systems from BAE Systems combine threat warning and self-protection capabilities to help military pilots conduct their missions and return home safely, comany officials say.
