Raytheon to build electronic warfare-equipped MALD-J radar-jamming drones

摘要

Force airborne weapons experts are asking Raytheon Co. to build potentially hundreds of electronic warfare (EW) radar-jamming drones under terms of a four-year $76.1 million sole-source contract. Officials of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., are asking Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Ariz., to provide lot 10 of the Miniature Air Launched Decoy Jammers (MALD-J), which are relatively simple air-launched unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed to jam enemy radar.
