LUTON, UK - Selex ES demonstrated the ease of integration and consistent performance of its SEER digital Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) self-protection system during the recent NATO Tactical Leadership Program (TLP) at Los Llanos Air Base, Albacete, Spain. The four-week exercise was held to increase the effectiveness of ten participating air forces.
The system was integrated onto two Czech Air Force Advanced Light Combat Aircraft in under three hours, making use of the existing wiring and antennas that had previously serviced the legacy Selex ES' Sky Guardian 200. This demonstrated the advantage of an open architecture approach and enabled the Czech Air Force to fully concentrate on planning and executing their flying program. The L-159 installation was a case study in easily retrofitting an aircraft with next generation RWR capabilities.
SEER performed precisely as expected during exercises and identified air, land and sea-based threats at significant ranges with a high degree of accuracy. Specialist Finmeccanica - Selex ES Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) staff provided the Czech Air Force with updated mission data files before each flight based on information and intelligence that had been gathered during the previous mission.
