L3Harris receives AN/ALQ-214A(V)4 work order
L3Harris Technologies has received an order from US Naval Air Systems Command for modifications to the AN/ALQ-214A(V)4 Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures System.
Announced by the US Department of Defense on 8 November, the order covers non-recurring engineering to develop, integrate, test and deliver software and firmware as well as all technical data. It also provides engineering and technical support for test efforts including correction of deficiencies discovered during testing in support of a Foreign Military Sales customer.
The AN/ALQ-214 is an RF integrated countermeasure system. The system is designed to counter RF guided threats with proven electronic countermeasures techniques that deny, disrupt, delay and degrade launch and engagement sequences. Each threat is identified, prioritised, countered and displayed to the aircrew for situational awareness as well as self-protection.
Work is expected to be completed in November 2022.
