What happened

The Southwest Research Institute is developing a next-generation electronic warfare (EW) system for the US Air Force, part of a $4.8-million contract. SwRI stated that their EW system offers size, weight, power, and cost improvement compared to other systems. It requires fewer components for operation, focusing on reducing maintenance expenses and logistical burdens. Moreover, the technology will incorporate an open architecture design, enabling swift updates without replacing or redesigning the system.
