The Electronic Combat Systems division of BAE Systems is marketing a new airborne digital electronic warfare (EW) protection system for export. Trademarked Storm EW, the company calls it scaleable, modular, fully internal, and platform agnostic. It works across the spectrum and permits third-party software and programming. Its main application would likely be the large number of F-16s in worldwide service, although it can also protect large aircraft such as transports and tankers.

The U.S.-based division of BAE Systems serves as the premier supplier of EW systems to U.S. military aircraft, but it has also sold platforms to more than 65 countries over the years. Major contracts in the U.S. include the Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) for the new F-15EX and for retrofit to some F-15Es and the EW system for upcoming Block 4 F-35s.
