“Hostile air defense systems are becoming more sophisticated and accessible in global conflict zones,” said Ed Zoiss, president of Harris’ electronic systems business.

Zoiss added he believes the B-52 aircraft should be equipped with electronic warfare technology that could mitigate future threats.

Harris booked multipled orders to redesign ALQ-172 subsystems such as LRU-4, LRU-7 and LRU-8 during 2015.
