Navy's Advanced Off-Board Electronic Warfare system reaches milestone C

摘要

Posted October 6, 2021 The Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin a $17.8 million contract for low-rate initial production units of the Advanced Off-Board Electronic Warfare System, marking milestone C for the program. AOEW is an off-board electronic surveillance and attack capability that pairs with Lockheed's Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program. AOEW has similar code bases and architecture as the SEWIP but comes in a smaller package, Joe Ottaviano, Lockheed's maritime and air cyber/electronic warfare portfolio director, told Inside Defense in July. A majority of the work will be done in Syracuse, NY, the Sept. 29 contract announcement states.
