Protecting aircraft from Radio Frequency (RF) and infrared threats remains paramount for air forces around the world, as illustrated by the high levels of activity which has occurred in this domain over previous year.
Traditionally, many nations in the Asia-Pacific region are taciturn regarding their military procurements writ large, let alone air-borne electronic self protection systems per se. Exceptions to this rule include the announcement by Leonardo that the Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU/Indonesian Air Force) is enhancing the self-protection of its BAE Systems Hawk Mk.209 fighters with the firm’s SEER radar warning receiver. According to Dave Appleby, vice president of sales for electronic warfare at Leonardo’s airborne and space systems division, this product is expected “to enter service soon” on these aircraft. The firm’s official literature states that it is available in two versions; one of which covers a bandwidth of 0.5 Gigahertz (GHz) to circa 18GHz, with the other covering two gigahertz to circa ten gigahertz.
