Northrop Grumman producing RF threat detection system

Northrop Grumman reports it is to produce its digital radar warning system and electronic warfare management system for U.S. Air Force and Navy aircrews.

Production of the AN/APR-39D(V)2 comes under a $124.7 million award following a period of development and testing. Northrop, however, did not specify the contract's issuing authority.

"With the AN/APR-39D(V)2, we are bringing mature, fifth-generation digital technology to the rotary fleet," Robert Fleming, vice president for the land & avionics C4ISR division of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, said in a press release. "With its growth path to additional capabilities, including radio frequency counter-measures and advanced self-protection, the AN/APR-39D(V)2 will help warfighters stay ahead of emerging threats."

The AN/APR-39D(V)2 provides 360-degree coverage to detect and identify radio frequency threats to an aircraft. It can display data from multiple onboard sensors and automatically initiate counter-measures.

The AN/APR-39D(V)2 incorporates digital receiver technology, enhanced signal processing and updated apertures for comprehensive aircraft survivability, Northrop Grumman said.
