The contract will support the development of advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) technologies designed to enhance the protection of airborne military platforms. EW systems are essential tools that enable warfighters to disrupt or manipulate enemy communications and weapon systems.
With modern radar and missile threats evolving rapidly, the importance of agile and effective EW capabilities has grown significantly. GDIT’s role will include engineering, logistics, intelligence analysis and the demonstration of innovative technologies such as low-cost EW jammers.
These jammers are intended for deployment across a range of airborne platforms, including aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial systems. The solutions aim to provide flexible and resilient support in increasingly contested electromagnetic environments.
“As electronic warfare continues to evolve at a rapid pace, staying one step ahead of our adversaries is vital to protecting our national security,” said Brian Sheridan, senior vice president of GDIT’s defence division. “We look forward to continuing our 15-year partnership with NAWCWD and reimagining new and cost-effective ways to provide our warfighters with a mission-critical advantage on the battlefield.”
