BAE Systems Optical Electronic Warfare Systems director Cheryl Paradis said: “Our customers that fly low and slow in dangerous situations face unobserved threats that can strike without warning in seconds.

“We level the playing field for pilots and crews with proven threat detection and countermeasures that quickly and automatically engage and defeat threats and help warfighters return home safely.”

The customisable algorithms and line-replaceable units of CMWS enable it to adapt to emerging threats.

The system integrates missile warning, hostile fire indication and data recording capabilities into a single unit. The data recording feature allows for detailed post-mission analysis.

BAE Systems has so far supplied more than 3,000 CMWS units to customers.
