Terma North America has been awarded a $ 4.7 million contract by Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) to complete development of the AN/ALQ-213(V) Processor Upgrade for the US Air Force, Warner Robins ALC.
The award is part of a $11 Million USD development program led by GTRI to upgrade the processing ability of the ALQ-213.
ALQ-213 Electronic Warefare Management System (EWMS) was orginally developed for the F-16 in close co-operation with the Danish Air Force (
RDAF) and began production in 1997.
Terma North America is responsible for hardware qualification, operating system and the application software. "When fielded, this upgrade will greatly enhance the survivability of U.S. A-10 and F-16
block 30 fighters," says Ms Johanna Eliot, Manager, Air Force Programs.
