AN/ALR-69A(V) Digital Radar Warning Receiver

The AN/ALR-69A(V) Digital Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) is an electronic countermeasures system manufactured by Raytheon E-Systems in the United States. It is designed to detect, identify, and characterize incoming radar signals to specific threats, alerting the aircrew via a system display. The system comprises external antennas mounted on the fuselage and wingtips, providing pilots with threat direction and nature, and automatically activating appropriate countermeasures. Based on a digitally-controlled, 16-channel broadband receiver, the ALR-69A(V) scans a specific frequency spectrum and can adapt to threat changes through software modifications. The program began in August 2001, with flight tests starting in late 2005, to replace the older ALR-69(V) on C-130, F-16, A-10, and MH-53 aircraft, addressing part-obsolescence issues. The first procurement contract for 17 systems was issued in August 2001, with ten systems scheduled for delivery in 2007.
