New shield for the Hawk

"Today's integrated anti-aircraft defence systems are very sophisticated. The distances from which radars are capable of detecting targets are enormous. Radar carriers can besides act in a very dynamic way, can change positions and so are hard to detect. Therefore, a modern radio-electronic combat strategy designed for self-defense is so crucial for machines of this type," says Jennifer Lewis, president of airborne combat systems (ACS) at L3Harris Technologies.
