A prototype system for detecting and countering emerging radar threats from air defense systems is to be produced by BAE Systems.

The prototype is for Phase 2 of the Adaptive Radar Countermeasures program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and will feature software algorithms that will enhance radar counter-measure capability without the need to upgrade electronic warfare system hardware.

"Our work innovating next-generation EW technology will provide a major battlefield advantage and help create a smarter and safer environment for our warfighters," said David Logan, vice president and general manager of Technology Solutions at BAE Systems. "Technology that adapts to overcome our adversaries' digitally programmable air defenses is an important part of BAE Systems' wider portfolio in cognitive programming for military systems."

In the first phase of the ARC program BAE Systems developed technology that leverages advancements in EW systems to characterize emerging radar threats, synthesize electronic counter-measures, and assess the effectiveness of the response.

BAE Systems' work on ARC in the first two phases of ARC is worth as much as $21.6 million.

Washington (UPI) Nov 24, 2014
Ukraine's military is receiving counter-mortar radar systems from the United States as part of a $118 million equipment and training arrangement. The Defense Department said the first three counter-mortar systems were delivered last week and that 17 more were on schedule for delivery over the next few weeks. "The radar systems see incoming mortar fire and quickly calculate the po ... read more
