After two decades of research, development and technology maturation, the US Navy’s ambitions to introduce flexible and adaptive wide-bandwidth radio frequency apertures to frontline warships are coming closer to fruition. Richard Scott reports
At its facilities in Baltimore, Maryland, Northrop Grumman is coming to the end of the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase for the US Navy’s (USN’s) Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 3 programme, with two engineering development models (EDMs) in test.
Meanwhile, two low-rate initial production systems are in build, with first ship installation planned for 2021.
The latest in a series of incremental upgrades to the AN/SLQ-32(V) electronic warfare (EW) system, SEWIP Block 3 introduces an advanced electronic attack (EA) subsystem to the architecture of the existing AN/SLQ-32(V)6/SEWIP Block 2 electronic support (ES) system.
