The capabilities to counter radio frequency threats will be specifically for SOC’s AC/MC-130J Commando II aircraft.

“Our two companies have worked together on EW technology programs for special-mission aircraft since the 1990s,” said Mitch Friedman, vice president and general manager of the Exelis integrated electronic warfare systems business. “Our experience and shared history in this field will produce a system more than capable of addressing customer needs and enabling mission success in a changing EW environment.”

Exelis said work on the project will be conducted at its facility in Clifton, N.J., and at L-3 Platform Integration’s facility in Waco, Texas.

“Our team offers cutting-edge technology, maturity and experience,” said Michael Wright, president of L-3 Platform Integration. “The combination of L-3’s C-130 domain knowledge and the latest Exelis EW technology will deliver mission-enabling capabilities quickly and with low risk.”

Additional details on the partnership for EW systems were not disclosed.
