WASHINGTON - The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, is awarded a $25 million modification (P00005) to a cost-plus-fixed-fee order (N0001925F0085) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N0001921G0006). This modification adds scope to provide non-recurring engineering, final design, fabrication, and delivery of Advanced Electronic Warfare A-kits for integration on Block III F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft.

The effort includes A-kits configured for aircraft with and without the wide band radar system, installation verification and checkout, modification instructions, and delivery of four flight test A-kits in support of developmental testing and fielding of the enhanced electronic warfare capability and future fleet modernization for the Navy.

Work is expected to be completed by December 2028. Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.

MELBOURNE, Fla. - The flight demonstration, performed on an L3Harris Green Wolf, marks a significant milestone in autonomous electronic warfare following a simulated test in February 2026. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) detected, analyzed and responded to electromagnetic threats without human intervention on a live flight test range. Hivemind, on board the Green Wolf, commanded the aircraft based on threat data from DiSCO, autonomously rerouting follow-on unmanned systems through a safe operating zone without human input.

The flight test featured the compact, software-defined Deceptor electronic warfare payload deployed on multiple UAS. The mission scenario validated the ability for a UAS to sense and characterize unknown threats, share data through DiSCO and leverage Hivemind to autonomously route follow-on UAS through a safe operating zone in real time.

The test integrated an L3Harris Green Wolf launched effects system equipped with electronic attack and advanced detection. This demonstration further validated Green Wolf’s role as a multi-mission platform, supporting distributed and networked electronic warfare operations.

STOCKHOLM -- Saab signed a contract with the German naval defense company TKMS and received an order to deliver and integrate combat systems, composite structures and sensors onto four of the German Navy’s new MEKO A-200 DEU class frigates.

The order value is approximately SEK 8.7 billion (approx. USD902.5 million) and Saab’s deliveries to TKMS will take place between 2029 and 2032.

The frigates will be produced in Germany with TKMS as the prime contractor. The contract also includes an option for integrating and equipping additional frigates.

The order comprises equipping the frigates with composite superstructures, 9LV Combat Systems including the Fire Control System and Combat Management System, sensors such as the long-range surveillance radar Sea Giraffe 4A Fixed Face, the lightweight multi-mission surveillance radar Sea Giraffe 1X, as well as passive sensors.
