EXELIS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES FLIGHT EXERCISES OF ADVANCED ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM ON INTERNATIONAL F-16S

ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) has successfully installed and tested an advanced self-defense electronic warfare system on F-16 aircraft operated by an international customer.

The Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare System, or AIDEWS (ALQ-211), completed several F-16 sorties and was tested against a wide variety of RF (radio frequency) threats. The system can be internally integrated or pod-mounted. Either configuration offers next-generation integrated radar warning and electronic countermeasures capability with greatly reduced integration cost.

"This most recent exercise continues AIDEWS' long track record of delivery and performance success," said Rich Sorelle, vice president and general manager of Exelis Electronic Systems' integrated electronic warfare systems business area. "Since AIDEWS is based on modular, scalable EW technology and has a large installed base, allied forces will have lower maintenance and upgrade costs."

AIDEWS is built upon the proven ALQ-211 family of electronic warfare systems that support a broad range of U.S. and allied defense customers on rotary-wing and fighter aircraft. These include versions of the NH-90, V-22, MH-47, MH-60, F-16 and several commercial platforms. AIDEWS provides fighter pilots with situational awareness and protection against radar-based threats, including modern surface-to-air and air-to-air weapon systems. An announcement is pending on the pod-mounted version (ALQ-211 (v)9).

The system is currently in full production with more than 160 under contract for six international customers. To date, 140 systems have been delivered, including continuous software support through regular system updates. These updates allow AIDEWS operators to optimize operational self-protection capabilities in an evolving environment throughout the aircraft life.
