The company said the IVEWS has more efficient broadband power amplifiers and adaptive countermeasure modulations, and will allow the aircraft to respond more quickly while covering extended frequencies and detecting threats in all directions. IVEWS uses a modular open-systems design, the company added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs advanced radio frequency threats continue to proliferate, the protection afforded by IVEWS is essential,\u201d James Conroy, Northrop\u2019s vice president for navigation, targeting and survivability, said in a statement. \u201cThis successful evaluation under very challenging conditions is an important step on the path to fielding the suite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force chose Northrop Grumman, among others, to start prototyping a design for the F-16\u2032s new electronic warfare system in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2021, the Air Force tapped Northrop to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/electronic-warfare\/2021\/01\/12\/northrop-will-provide-f-16-electronic-warfare-system\/\" target=\"_blank\">finish the project as the sole contractor<\/a>. Northrop said at the time its new system would be compatible with the jet\u2019s AN\/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar, which the company also makes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northrop received another contract from the Air Force in May 2022 to get IVEWS ready for developmental testing and full hardware qualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense News has asked the company how much the Air Force is paying it to create IVEWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Northrop said the testing process \u201cinjected\u201d simulated air defense radar pulses into the electronic warfare system to ensure it could recognize and counter advanced threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The testing, which is now complete, took place in the Air Force\u2019s Laboratory Intelligence Validated Emulator, Northrop said, which allows for the testing of electronic warfare technology in realistic environments. This was the first time IVEWS\u2019 ultra-wideband architecture was tested in that emulator, the firm added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The jet&#8217;s future electronic
