(El Segundo, Calif., December 1, 2008) -- Raytheon Company's (NYSE: RTN) newest integrated electronic warfare suite has been selected in a competition to provide self-protection capability for Royal Moroccan Air Force F-16 aircraft. The RMAF recently agreed to purchase 24 Block 52 F-16s from Lockheed Martin.
Known as "ACES," Raytheon's advanced countermeasures electronic system consists of a radar warning receiver, digital jammer and chaff-flare dispenser. This advanced system meets evolving customer requirements and is Raytheon's latest offering for the F-16. Raytheon's contract, received from Lockheed, calls for deliveries to begin in December 2009.
"ACES will provide the Royal Moroccan Air Force with an advanced integrated electronic warfare suite for enhanced situational awareness and survivability," said Roy Azevedo, deputy vice president for Raytheon's Tactical Airborne Systems mission area. "It paves the way for additional international sales of this advanced technology."
