Integrated Viper Electronic Warfare Suite (IVEWS)

Abstract

Integrated Viper Electronic Warfare System (IVEWS) previously justified as a sub-program under DRWR Cost Category as NGEW has been renamed and separated to an IVEWS Cost Category to continue development efforts. IVEWS is a Section 804 Middle Tier Acquisition program providing improved Digital Radar Warning Receiver performance and Active Jamming capability, with future growth upgrades, in an internal suite to keep the F-16 operationally viable to 2046+. This rapid acquisition program was initiated to design, develop, test, and produce a mature electronic warfare system that is internal to the F-16, interoperable with the Active Electronically Scanned Array radar, designed to Open Missions Systems Tier II requirements, and provisioned for long-term growth capability to support future upgrades such as Fiber Optic Towed Decoy, Adaptive/Cognitive Processing, and Open System Architecture compliance. This program is necessary for the F-16 to meet the NDS requirement of operating in current and future contested environments.
