Raytheon, an RTX Business, has been awarded by The United States Navy an $80 million contract for the development of a prototype Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW) system for the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet. This prototype aims to replace the existing AN/ALQ-214 integrated defensive electronic countermeasure and AN/ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receiver with a consolidated solution, delivering advanced electronic warfare capabilities to the Navy’s carrier air wing.
With its focus on replacing legacy systems and delivering a comprehensive solution, Raytheon’s ADVEW prototype represents a strategic investment in ensuring the long-term effectiveness and survivability of the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, a vital component of the Navy’s carrier air wing.
