It is also being offered with the Gripen.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/2018\/04\/13\/germany-fears-steeper-tornado-costs-after-the-uk-ditches-its-planes\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BON5GKVY3FHF5LQ4WS327OV3EI.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Germany fears steeper Tornado costs after the UK ditches its planes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">German defense officials brace themselves for the reality of maintaining a dwindling fleet of aircraft.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released when a radar-guided missile approaches an aircraft, BriteCloud includes a radar-jamming system and produces a ghost signal that fools radar guidance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonardo hopes customers looking to add decoys to aircraft will buy the system instead of a towed decoy, \u201cwhich is a huge integration issue,\u201d according to Jon McCullagh, head of combat air sales for electronic warfare at the Leonardo Airborne and Space Systems. Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The firm is also talking to Eurofighter about the BriteCloud complementing the towed decoy already used on the aircraft, said McCullagh, because it can put more distance between itself and the aircraft than the towed version, drawing missiles further away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe battery lasts approximately 10 seconds, by which time the decoy has drawn radars sufficiently far away from the aircraft that it takes a significant time for a system to switch back to searching for the target and locking on,\u201d McCullagh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. has previously used the Gen-X expendable decoy, but Leonardo claims its new product is the first digital expendable decoy on the market and the most powerful to date. It did not give details of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Tornado contract was let under single-source contract regulations, as there are no alternative suppliers of this technology,\u201d McCullagh noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonardo claims its new product is the first digital expendable decoy on the market and the most powerful
