The U.S. Navy Wants to Outfit More Ships with a Powerful Electronic Warfare (EW) System: SEWIP Block III is currently in use on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, but if miniaturized, it could give other ships a potent EW capability too.
Northrup Grumman is working with the United States Navy to design a smaller, more light-weight version of it AN/SLQ-32(V)7 Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program Block III (also known as SEWIP Block III) for use on smaller surface warfare ships.
“We’re also looking at opportunities to scale down the system for smaller ship classes — frigates and smaller — and looking at ways to make a scaled-down version of SEWIP that can be effectively employed and rapidly installed on the smaller ship classes,” Mike Meaney, Vice President of Land and Maritime Sensors at Northrop, explained to C4ISRNET.
