The Common Missile Warning System detects infrared- and radio-frequency-guided missiles, unguided munitions and other threats, automatically cueing warnings and countermeasures in real time. It is installed on more than 40 types of rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft worldwide and, under the new contracts, will help protect the fleets of more than 20 nations.
“International customers continue to choose CMWS for its proven effectiveness and reliability in combat, where it has saved many lives,” said Jared Belinsky. “We are proud of this legacy and look forward to continuing to support U.S. coalition partners.”
BAE Systems said it has delivered more than 3,000 CMWS units globally and continues to deliver systems ahead of schedule to meet urgent operational needs. The system forms part of the company’s Intrepid Shield layered survivability approach and is designed and manufactured at facilities in Huntsville, Alabama, Austin, Texas, and Nashua, New Hampshire.
