Under the contract, the company will also provide related engineering services that support the integration process on the aircraft which will be delivered to an undisclosed foreign customer.
The mission critical equipment, ALQ-213A DAC provides improved survivability and advanced capabilities such as data recording, embedded cockpit-crew training and enhanced threat response processing for the C-130J operator.
The DAC also provides an option to affordably move to an enhanced defensive systems suite for the C-130J operators with a variety of different sensors and countermeasure subsystems.
The Terma-developed AN/ALQ-213 is currently in service on 1,000 US A-10 Thunderbolt and F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.
