SMS Defence Solutions is supporting
BAE Systems to
further develop and test the
ALR-2002 Radar Warning Receiver.
The ALR-2002 is an Australian-developed
Radar Warning Receiver,
designed to detect and identify radar systems through their electromagnetic emissions.
The ALR-2002 Radar Warning Receiver was initially developed by
DSTO
to meet the needs of the RAAF’s F-111 fighter/bomber, replacing the ALR-62 equipment.
DSTO then contracted AWA Defence Industries (later acquired by BAE Systems) to develop the receiver for production.
Following a review in 1998, two projects, AIR 5391 F-111 EW Upgrade and AIR5394 EWSP for ADF
Transport Aircraft, were restructured to create AIR 5416 Echidna.
Under Phase 2A of AIR 5416, the ALR-2002 receiver will be installed onto the Army Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters.
For further information about AIR 5416, refer to the
Project Echidna Home Page.
