BAE Systems to upgrade EW capabilities on Saudi fighter jets

Issue No. 9 | May 01-15, 2012

BAE Systems announced a $367 million contract to deliver 70 digital electronic warfare systems (DEWS)/common missile warning systems (CMWS) to upgrade F-15S fighter jets in support of the Royal Saudi Air Force.

BAE Systems looks forward to providing the Royal Saudi Air Force with this superior electronic capability,” said John Nyilis, product line director at BAE Systems. “Through these efforts the Kingdom’s existing F-15 fighter aircraft will match the capabilities of the next generation of F-15 SA fighter jets currently in development.

DEWS is a state-of-the-art integrated digital electronic warfare system which provides advanced radar warning and countermeasure capabilities to legacy and new platforms. The system protects aircraft by providing situational awareness, offensive targeting support, and self-protection.

Our DEWS/CMWS product can be modified for a wide variety of platforms, providing our customers with the ability to ensure system commonality,” said Nyilis.

BAE Systems will deliver the DEWS/CMWS system to Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in Georgia under a foreign military sale to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The work will be performed in Nashua, New Hampshire, Totowa, New Jersey, and Austin, Texas and is scheduled to be completed by November 2018.
