BAE Systems has received Foreign Military Sales contracts from the U.S. Army valued at $137 million to deliver its AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS) to allied nations. The system helps protect aircraft and crews, enhancing their survivability against missiles and other advanced threats.
The CMWS detects infrared and radio-frequency guided missiles, unguided munitions, and other threats, and automatically cues warnings and countermeasures in real time. The system is installed on more than 40 types of rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft worldwide. With the new contract, CMWS will protect the fleets of more than 20 nations.
“International customers continue to choose CMWS for its proven effectiveness and reliability in combat, where it has saved many lives,” said Jared Belinsky, director of Integrated Survivability Solutions at BAE Systems. “We are proud of this legacy and look forward to continuing to support U.S. coalition partners.”
