AUSTRALIA AND U.S. STILL RELYING ON COUNTER-IED SYSTEMS
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The next several years will see steady production and support of Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) jammers in multiple variants for the U.S. military and, under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, the military forces of Australia.
Multiple contractors are producing numerous versions of the jammers tailored to specific and sometimes limited applications. For the most part, however, JCREW jammers will be produced through the decade to meet the demand for vehicle and dismounted soldier protection even with the recent end of major U.S. operations in Afghanistan.
Among recent activity, in February 2021, Northrop Grumman received a $329 million, multi-year JCREW contract for dismounted systems, mounted systems, mounted auxiliary kits, operational- level spares, depot-level spares and engineering support services. An FMS component included funding from the government of Australia in the amount of $116.4 million.
A report on the JCREW program is available from Forecast International.
