Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW)
Abstract
This budget supports development and platform integration of a modernized, fully integrated, multi-spectral Electronic Warfare (EW) system to enhance platform survivability against near-peer threats. This new system called Advanced EW (ADVEW) replaces the outdated ALR-67 radar warning receiver (RWR) and the limited ALQ-214 self-protect jammer into a modern, combined EW suite providing automated EW processing in an Open System Architecture. The suite will enable both offensive and defensive capabilities for the F/A-18E/F, as well as interoperable EW effects across the Carrier Air Wing and joint forces. Funding will support multiple sensor enhancements to include the AN/APG-79 radar Wideband Receiver (WBR) upgrade providing instantaneous bandwidth and integration of EW signals into the ADVEW suite. When fielded in FY27, this system will provide all-aspect, high sensitivity detection of full spectrum complex/agile/cognitive Radio Frequency (RF) threats keeping the Super Hornet a highly capable strike fighter asset in the Great Power Competition through platform sundown in 2040.
