The government of Poland has selected L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) to provide its Viper Shield™ electronic warfare (EW) system for the country’s F-16 Viper upgrade program.
Poland will purchase the AN/ALQ-254 Viper Shield system through the U.S. government to enhance the offensive and defensive capabilities of its current F-16 Block 52+ configuration. Viper Shield will equip Poland with the same advanced EW features available to other international allies operating the new F-16 Block 70 variant.
“We are honored Poland selected us to upgrade their F-16V multirole fighters,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “Viper Shield is in production and will enable pilots to identify, locate and counter rapidly evolving threats faster with enhanced success.”
