El SEGUNDO (BNS): Raytheon has received a contract from the US Navy to produce ALR-67(V)3 digital radar warning receivers for installation on F/A-18 E/F carrier-based fighters.
The contract, worth $84.7 million, entails continued production of the ALR-67(V)3 digital radar warning receivers which are the US Navy standard for digital radar warning receiver technology.
The ALR-67(V)3 is an airborne threat warning and countermeasures control system designed to warn an aircraft’s crew of potentially hostile radar activity. It is the first deployed radar warning receiver to combine fully channelised digital receiver architecture with the power of dual processors.
The ALR-67(V)3, with cutting edge digital technology, can detect emitters in high pulse density, as well as interception of faint distant signals despite interference from strong nearby transmitters.
The system has been fully integrated with all avionics equipment on the US Navy’s F/A-18 A/B/C/D Hornets, as well as on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornets.
