Mission Technologies brings tactical electromagnetic warfare capability to the edge
Defense Daily reported on Monday that HII “debuted a new electronic warfare (EW) system that is being validated on unmanned systems to detect and attack threat emitters to give operators spectrum dominance across a broad range of missions.”
Citing Matt Britton, senior director of HII Mission Technologies’ electronic systems portfolio, Defense Daily reported: “The multi-channel GRIMM system weighs under 2 pounds, is the size of two cell phones stacked on top of each other, and can transition between passive and active modes. The EW payload requires low power and also features open software and hardware standards that allow it to integrate, test and field quickly with different platforms, and work with existing common operating pictures.”
“GRIMM really enables bringing that tactical electromagnetic warfare capability to the edge and enables deep sensing that one would typically find on a manned platform,” Britton said, “but we’re pushing that to the edge and enabling that on unmanned platforms.”
The story also quoted Grant Hagen, president of Mission Technologies’ Warfare Systems group, who noted that HII has “several orders upcoming” for GRIMM.
