BAE Systems secures $12 million contract for Italian Air Force jets Investing.com -- BAE Systems (LON:BAES) (LON:BA) has been awarded a $12 million contract from L3Harris to modify two Gulfstream G550 aircraft for the Italian Air Force. The contract involves providing hardware modifications including racks, radomes, cables, and harnesses to prepare the aircraft for installation of electronic warfare mission systems, according to a company statement. These modified aircraft will be equipped with capabilities designed to disrupt and suppress enemy command and control, communication, navigation, and air defense systems. "This modification work is a critical step toward delivering advanced EA capabilities to the Italian Air Force," said Cory Casalegno, director for Coalition Electronic Attack at BAE Systems. "Providing high-powered, long-range jamming capabilities to an important U.S. ally broadens the strength of the global allied fleet and supports the mission of the U.S. Air Force." The electronic attack systems will complement the G550 business jets’ range, altitude, and endurance characteristics, enabling long-range jamming operations from safer distances. The systems aim to limit adversaries’ situational awareness and disrupt their use of the electromagnetic spectrum. BAE Systems noted that its airborne electronic attack mission systems align with U.S. Air Force capabilities. The company has been developing electronic warfare technology for decades, adapting hardware for different aircraft platforms while balancing power output requirements with size, weight, and power limitations.
