The Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) Alliance recently awarded Terma a contract worth approx. USD 5 million for the supply of the Soft Kill Weapon System (SKWS) for the AWD's Anti Ship-Missile Defence System.

The AWD decoy launching system capability includes four deck mounted MK-137 130 mm decoy launchers, launch control computer, and launcher interface unit.
