Digital Radar Warning Receiver

Abstract

Digital Radar Warning Receiver improves on existing radar warning receiver performance and improves Electronic Warfare (EW) threat detection range. ALR-69A is a modernization of key capability to support operational warfighting survivability in contested environments (NDS) by overhauling the non-digital/legacy F-16 Radar Warning Receiver migrating to digital radar warning receiver (DRWR)/ALR-69A system with fiber optics and improved system sensitivity. The DRWR program also facilitates Sensor Integration Unit (SIU), a Radio Frequency Compatibility (RFC) solution, with associated systems. This program is necessary for the F-16 to meet the NDS requirement of operating in current and future contested environments. This digital radar warning receiver upgrade provides improved radio frequency threat situational awareness to aircrew and increases the performance in dense signal areas of operation as seen within contested environments.
