Countermeasures suite:

Anything American usually do, but I don't think it'll be a big factor for Bangladesh since it's a small country.
Type: Integrated EW suite designed specifically for use on the JAS 39 Gripen multirole combat aircraft.
Description :
EWS-39 is described as being an integrated EW suite that is built around a core radar warning/electronic support/passive missile approach warning capability and can interface with data provided by the host aircraft's radar, infra-red search and track system and ground control facilities to improve overall situational awareness. Functionally, sensor data is compared with a sensor/weapon system library to assess threat level, alert the host aircraft's pilot and initiate appropriate countermeasures. In terms of countermeasures provision, EWS 39 is reported to be able to handle `all' types of offboard, integrated and pod-mounted jamming pods and CounterMeasures Dispensing Systems (CMDS). While not confirmed or denied by Ericsson Saab Avionics, Jane's sources suggest that, aside from the core capabilities described above, the Gripen EW suite also appears to incorporate a mission dedicated jamming pod, an EW system control computer, `wingtip units', BOL chaff dispensers (see separate entry), the BO2D active towed decoy (see separate entry) and BOP CMDSs (see separate entry).

What are the strings attached to it?
