Exelis to supply Sweden with maritime electronic warfare technology

Exelis has been awarded a contract valued at more than $17 million to provide electronic support measures (ESM) technology and services to Sweden through a subcontract with shipbuilder Saab, in Sweden.

Under the contract, Exelis will provide Swedish submarines with the latest model of the sophisticated ES-3701 electronic warfare (EW) system, offering a significant capability boost in the areas of situational awareness, targeting, self-protection and surveillance.

“The ES-3701 is the ideal ESM system for submarines and surface ships and is widely deployed with allies around the world. Our ESM technology will equip Sweden to handle a range of emerging threats they face, now and in the future,” said Dave Prater, vice president and general manager of the Exelis radar and reconnaissance systems business.
