Advanced Countermeasures Electronic System

Raytheon’s Advanced Countermeasures Electronic System is a fully integrated EW suite with robust situational awareness and powerful jamming capabilities. ACES represents the most modern EW digital technology available, providing a secure electronic shield against anti-aircraft missiles and threats from enemy radars.

ACES represents the most modern, all-digital internal EW suite available today. The system features a new, all-digital, low cost, high performance RWR for dense signal environments and a new digital RF memory-based (DRFM) jammer with enhanced resource management and technique-rich capabilities.

Built on a legacy of EW suites for the F-16, including Raytheon’s Advanced Self-Protection Integrated Suite (ASPIS and ASPIS II), ACES reflects the next generation of advanced EW for the F-16. Legacy efforts and core elements of ACES have proved highly effective against real threats in acceptance flight trials, combat exercises and spontaneous defense of sovereign territory. Designed to detect, identify and counter contemporary threats in a high density environment, the system integrates the Raytheon ALR-69A all-digital RWR with the Raytheon ALQ-187(V)2 jammer and the ALE-47 countermeasures dispenser system — offering an effective and dependable F-16 advanced countermeasures electronic self- protection system.
