Once a threat is identified, the system automatically alerts the crew and cues appropriate countermeasures in real time. In practical terms, that means the difference between seconds of reaction time and none at all.

More than 3,000 units have been delivered worldwide and installed on over 40 rotary-and fixed-wing aircraft types. The system has accumulated more than four million combat theatre flight hours across the US and allied platforms. With the latest award, CMWS will equip aircraft fleets across more than 20 nations.
