The ALQ-99 is an airborne integrated jamming system designed and manufactured by EDO Corporation. Receiver equipment and antennas are mounted in a fin-tip pod while ...
AN/SPY-1D(V): Littoral Warfare Radar upgrade for the -1D variant applied to Arleigh Burke-class destroyers DDG 91 onwards, [13] Japanese Atago-class destroyers and Maya-class destroyers, South Korean Sejong the Great-class destroyers (KDX-III), Spanish F-105 frigate and the Australian Hobart-class air warfare destroyers (AWD).
The SPY-6 system consists of two primary radars and a radar suite controller (RSC) to coordinate the sensors. An S-band radar is to provide volume search, tracking, ballistic missile defense discrimination, and missile communications, while the X-band radar is to provide horizon search, precision tracking, missile communication, and terminal illumination of targets.

The radar's AESA technology provides quick updates on multiple targets, and its solid-state antenna construction makes it more reliable and cost-effective than traditional radar systems. [2] The radar has a range of up to 150 km (80 nm) and can track multiple targets simultaneously. [ 3 ]
The Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line, constructed in the late 1950s, was reaching obsolescence in the 1980s.With the signing of North American Air Defence Modernization agreement at the "Shamrock Summit" between Prime Minister Mulroney and President Reagan in Quebec City on 18 March 1985, the DEW Line began its eventual upgrading and transition becoming the North Warning System (NWS) of today.
