Israel sets up new department to boost development of AI and autonomy
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Cobham wins naval EW system contract
Lockheed Martin has awarded a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract to Cobham for the production of Antenna Array Panel Assemblies (AAPAs). The AAPAs are used in the Block II configuration of the US Navy’s Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP).
SEWIP is upgrading out-of-production AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare systems currently in use.
The Block II configuration is the latest improvement phase being pursued by the navy for its shipboard EW system. Block II has new functional capabilities and defensive technologies such as combat system interfaces and improved electronic support receivers.
Jim Barber, senior vice president and general manager, Cobham Integrated Electronic Solutions, said: ‘This contract further solidifies the strong relationship between Cobham, Lockheed Martin and the Naval Sea Systems Command.
‘Our technical expertise and decades of experience in RF antennas/arrays and electronic subsystems used in critical DoD applications have positioned us for this win. Cobham’s interferometer-based array technology greatly enhances the SEWIP Block 2 programme’s detection and reporting accuracy against modern threat systems and improves overall shipboard combat effectiveness. We are very proud to be a member of the SEWIP team.’
