BAE Systems will develop more Block 4 AN/ASQ-239 electronic warfare systems for Lockheed Martin‘s upcoming Lot 17 production of F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.

Deliveries to Lockheed will be made under under contracts worth $491 million and will add to the 1,200 EW units already supplied to the defense contractor, BAE said Monday.

Through the system, F-35s employ fully integrated offensive and defense electronic warfare capabilities, including long-range threat warning, self-protection and targeting support.

“The Block 4 EW system will offer greater situational awareness, enhanced survivability and increased capabilities to counter modern threats, and is upgradable to address evolving threats,” said Lisa Aucoin, vice president of F-35 Solutions at BAE.
