NEWTOWN, Conn. - The next several years should see steady funding for the U.S. Navy's EW Simulator Development program to provide new aircraft such as the EA-18G and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with advanced simulation and training technologies. Annual rates of approximately $34 million per year will be pumped into the effort through at least 2017. The objective of the EW Simulator Development program is to develop simulation facilities and approaches that will allow planners to evaluate the effectiveness of EW systems in real-world engagement situations and to introduce modern, effective systems into naval aviation. Current and emerging EW programs that benefit from the EW Simulator Development effort include the ALR-67 radar warning receiver, the Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures suite ALQ-214, and the Next Generation Jammer, among many others. Based on an estimated projection of the FY15 U.S. defense budget, $235 million will likely be spent on the program through 2024.
