NEWTOWN, Conn. - The next several years should see steady production of the ALE-55 fiber-optic towed decoy (FOTD) for a variety of U.S. Navy airborne applications. Low-rate initial production of the decoy for the Navy's F/A-18E/F application has begun as a replacement for the older ALE-50.

U.S. procurement funding for the FOTD is provided in the U.S. DoD's Airborne Expendable Countermeasures (AECM) program, which purchases countermeasure self-protection devices for all Navy and Marine Corps rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. Through the AECM program, $361.9 million is scheduled to be spent through 2019 on ALE-55 units and related systems for Navy and Marine Corps applications.

A report on the ALE-55 program is available from Forecast International.
