RTX's Raytheon was awarded an $80 million contract by the U.S.
Navy.
The aerospace and defense company said its unit was selected for
the contract in a down select to prototype advanced electronic
warfare for the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet. This prototype will be
considered as a replacement for the existing AN/ALQ-214 integrated
defensive electronic countermeasure and AN/ALR-67(V)3 radar warning
receiver with a consolidated solution that will deliver electronic
warfare capabilities to the Navy's carrier air wing, the company
said.
Development and testing of the advanced electronic warfare will
mainly take place in Goleta, Calif. The system will undergo
preliminary design review, critical design review and flight
testing over a 36-month period during the prototype phase, RTX
said.
