BAE Systems Claims Next-generation Threat Warning
Aircraft and helicopter survivability against missile attack could be significantly improved, says company

The U.S.-based Electronics Systems business of BAE Systems revealed what it claims to be a next-generation threat warning system for aircraft. The 3-Dimensional Advanced Warning System (3DAWS) provides a more definitive warning to aircrew by emitting an active radar interrogating pulse, upon cueing from a "traditional" passive threat warning system. BAE also announced a cooperation with DRS, the U.S. subsidiary of Leonardo, to employ the latter’s long-range infrared sensors.
