RAF Orders Radar Warning Systems for its Puma Helicopters
The SG200-D radar warning receivers from the company are worth about $29.6 million and are being provided under a contract issued by Britain’s Ministry of Defense.
“With this contract to replace the legacy Radar Warning Receiver, we have taken a significant step towards upgrading our aircraft, thereby ensuring that we are able to counter both current and future threats.”
Finmeccanica – Selex ES describes its SG200-D as a Britain-specific product from its SEER system product line to detect and identify emitters in high-density and complex radar environments.
Under the contract, the company will deliver an unspecified number of systems for installation on operational helicopters and for training and several sets of “A-kit” equipment — the antennas and cockpit control equipment needed to quickly install the full system as a helicopter switches over from a training to operational environment.
Britain currently operates 24 Puma helicopters.
