ELECTRONIC WARFARE DIRECTORY Bravo hand-dispensed packs for ship protection and special configurations for carriage in airbrake housings. Chemring has an associate company in France, CIRRA. Ferranti AWARE Software-driven family of RWRs for helicopter and fixed-wing applications. Baseline AWARE-3 offers coverage of the E-J radar bands, and uses both crystal-video and IFM receivers. AWARE variant selected for British Army Lynx/Gazelle helicopters. Marconi Defence Systems (MDS) ALARM SEEKER MDS produces the passive seeker for the BAe ALARM anti-radiation missile. Apollo Low cost, high performance, multi-mode 1/J-band radar designed for the export market. Frequency range can be extended up and down. Can be configured for pod, scab or internal applications. Designed to work in conjunction with the Sky Guardian 200 RWR and the Merlin EW library support equipment. A private venture. Apollo concept/function development is complete and the system is awaiting a launch customer. ARI. 18223 RWR covering the 2-18GHz frequency band. Fitted to RAF Jaguars and Harrier GR.3s. ARI.18228/RWR covering the 2-18GHz frequency band. Fitted to RAF Phantom FGR.l/2s and Chinook helicopters. Both ARI.18223 and 18228 have been upgraded a number of times and now approximate to,"or equal to, the capability of the Sky Guardian 200 equipment. ARI.23246 Skyshadow Podded dual-mode (deception and CW?) radar jamming pod aimed at a "wide range" of surveil lance, SAM-related, and airborne emitters. Sky- shadow is power-managed, software-driven, has an integral receiver subsystem, and is highly autonomous in operation. Standard equipment on the RAF's Tornado GR.l (and likely to be exported to Saudi Arabia in the RAF Tornado mid-life update), Skyshadow is being integrated with the aircraft's RWR, the combination of two receivers providing an enhanced "view" of the threat. EFA DASS MDS is currently leading the EURODASS consor tium (MDS, TST, Electtronica, Inisel and Ensa) bid for the EFA defensive aids sub-system. Proposal comprises jamming, RF/laser/missile ap proach warning and expendables all tied together into a fully integrated system which, in turn, interfaces with the aircraft's total avionic fit. Hermes Modular superheterodyne ESM/radar-warning system covering the C-J radar bands. Reportedly supplied to the Indian Navy for Sea King ASW helicopters. Laser warning receiver LWR for airborne applications covering the 0.35- 1.1 um range. Monarch RPV EW payloads Family of RPV EW payloads comprising an H/J radar-band ESM (18kg weight), an E/J radar-band ESM (24kg), an E/F or 1/J radar-band jammer (6kg), a VHF communications barrage jammer (3kg) and a VHF communications "responsive" jammer (4kg). Likely to be associated with the British Army's Phoenix RPV programme. Sky Guardian 200 Processor-controlled crystal-video RWR covering the E to J radar bands, with options for C/D and R bands. Interface for a Vinten dispenser, and can co-operate with "simple" radar jammers. Sky Guardian 200 in service on RAF Buccaneer strike aircraft (with C/D radar-band coverage) and Sea King/Puma helicopters, Austrian J35 Drakens, RN/Indian Navy Sea Harriers and Spanish Navy EAV-8As. MDS stresses Sky Guardian 200's capability against scanning pulse Doppler radar. Sky Guardian 300 Projected radar warning/ESM system based on Sky Guardian 200, with the addition of an IFM receiver and horn-type D/F antennas. Intended for maritime-patrol/ASW applications. Sky Guardian 2000 Proposed variant of the Sky Guardian incorporat ing a 32-bit signal processor and frequency measurement. Intended for the "most complex radar environments". Tornado radar homing & warning receiver MDS has developed a double superheterodyne RWR for RAF/Saudi Arabian Tornado F.2/3 inter ceptors. The basic modules may also form the core of warning equipment on the Tornado GR.l. Zeus Health Usage and Performance Monitoring Systems for fixed and rotary wing applications A diagnostic system providing data to reduce operator maintenance costs with: • IMPROVED FLIGHT SAFETY • ON-CONDITION MAINTENANCE • IMPROVED FAULT DIAGNOSIS • ACCURATE MAINTENANCE DATA • COMPREHENSIVE TREND ANALYSIS • REAL TIME MONITORING OF LOW CYCLE FATIGUE • MONITORING OF EXCEEDANCES SMITHS INDUSTRIES I Aerospace & Defence Systems Winchester Road, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England RG22 6HP.
