ITT Exelis completes advanced electronic warfare testing for Pakistan’s F-16 upgrade


20 November 2012


The ITT Exelis-built ALQ-211 Advanced Defensive Electronic Warfare System (AIDEWS) has successfully completed electromagnetic compatibility testing, as part of qualification process for the Pakistan Air Force's F-16 fighter upgrade programme.

Conducted at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California, the six-week tests were carried out on simultaneously operating multiple radio frequency systems in an AIDEWS pod-equipped F-16 aircraft.

The resulting pod antenna patterns on the aircraft were subsequently measured by the ITT team along with system interoperability between the AIDEWS jamming pod, fire control radar and ALR-69 radar warning receiver.

Exelis Electronic Systems AIDEWS business area lead Stuart Altman said: "This kind of comprehensive testing shows we already have a well-integrated, effective system to protect the F-16, and we'll be using the results of this testing to make the system even better."

The chamber-based testing was conducted by the company in an effort to ensure efficient operation of the pod with other aircraft systems, and also confirm simultaneous individual operations of the systems without interfering with one another.

Enabling the company to decrease the amount of flight testing required for AIDEWS performance verification, the testing also lowers cost and time for the system's qualification.

Derived from the ALQ-211 (V) 4 system, the AIDEWS is an integrated digital radar warning receiver and advanced jamming countermeasures system designed to improve pilots' situational awareness and protection against radar-based threats, including modern surface-to-air and air-to-air weapon systems.

Over 180 AIDEWS systems are currently under contract for six nations as part of the F-16 foreign military sales programme, while 140 systems have already been delivered along with continuous software support to customers worldwide.

AIDEWS is installed aboard the F-16 fighters of US, Chile, Poland, Turkey and Pakistan air forces, and can also be integrated into the NH-90 helicopter, V-22 Osprey, MH-47, and MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, as well as several commercial platforms.

ITT Exelis successfully completes AIDEWS testing at Edwards Air Force Base

CLIFTON, N.J., Nov. 19, 2012 - ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) has completed extensive electromagnetic compatibility testing of its Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite, or AIDEWS, at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. AIDEWS provides pilots with situational awareness and protection against radar-based threats, including modern surface-to-air and air-to-air weapon systems.

The testing, part of the qualification process for the Pakistan F-16 upgrade program, was conducted to ensure AIDEWS will work with other systems integrated into the aircraft, and verify that the multiple systems will not interfere with one another. This chamber-based testing also helps to reduce the amount of flight testing needed to verify the electronic warfare system’s performance, reducing cost and time to qualify a system.

Six weeks of testing, at Edwards AFB, was performed on multiple radio frequency systems operating simultaneously in an F-16 carrying the AIDEWS pod. The team measured pod antenna patterns on the F-16, as well as system interoperability between the AIDEWS jamming pod, fire control radar and ALR-69 Radar Warning Receiver.

“This milestone speaks volumes about our system’s capability and maturity,” said Stuart Altman, Exelis Electronic Systems business area lead for AIDEWS. “This kind of comprehensive testing shows we already have a well-integrated, effective system to protect the F-16, and we’ll be using the results of this testing to make the system even better.”

AIDEWS is built upon the proven ALQ-211 family of electronic warfare systems now in use to support a broad range of U.S. and allied defense customers on many aircraft. The system is currently in full production with more than 160 systems under contract for six nations as part of the F-16 Foreign Military Sales program.
