The modular software architecture is designed to allow the Air Force to add new applications rapidly without costly code rewrites, marking a shift in how mission systems are developed in the field. The approach aims to boost mission adaptability and aircraft survivability by supporting swift upgrades.
“Our modular software gives the U.S. Air Force true plug-and-play control over its Electronic Warfare Suite,” said Mike Schiavone, Terma Inc. VP & General Manager. “Operators will add advanced jamming and other new capabilities as easily as downloading an app—without disrupting ongoing missions.”
By replacing tightly coupled legacy code with a flexible open architecture, Terma reduces risks in integration and accelerates deployment of new features. The next stage will focus on incremental software releases to validate components and prepare for flight testing on F-16 and A-10 aircraft.
Once operational, the modular design will provide warfighters with the ability to tailor Electronic Warfare applications across multiple platforms. This is expected to enhance survivability and effectiveness in rapidly changing operational environments.
