L3Harris Technologies Selected to Demo EW Prototype for USAF F-16 Fighting Falcon

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has been awarded a project agreement under the SOSSEC Consortium’s Air Force Open System Acquisition Initiative (OSAI) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for prototyping to demonstrate a new electronic warfare solution for the U.S. Air Force F-16 multi-role fighter – helping to protect the aircraft against threats.

As part of the Alpha Phase of the Air Force’s F-16 Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite Program Prototype Project, L3Harris will develop and test an integrated digital radar warning receiver electronic countermeasures solution. L3Harris’ solution is based on the company’s combat-proven technologies.

“L3Harris is delivering an integrated EW suite based on proven technologies from across the newly-merged companies that will provide F-16 pilots with the most sophisticated, high-performance EW needed to defeat advanced and emerging threats,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. ”We’re leveraging technology synergies and innovations from across the company as a result of the merger, perhaps none more exciting and game-changing for our customers than in the area of EW and spectrum dominance.”
