Exelis has won a more than $17 million contract from shipbuilder Saab to supply electronic support measures to Sweden.
The company will build ES-3701 electronic warfare technology for situational awareness, targeting, self-protection and surveillance missions, Exelis said Tuesday.
“Our ESM technology will equip Sweden to handle a range of emerging threats they face, now and in the future,†said Dave Prater, vice president and general manager of Exelis’ radar and reconnaissance systems business.
The system is designed to find direction over a 360-degree azimuth using a circular array interferometer antenna.
ES-3701 also works to identify and measure signals in dense radio frequency environments despite the presence of interference.
