Navy Helicopters Equipped with Electronic Warfare Pod for Anti-Ship Missile Defense

The U.S. Navy has successfully tested the Advanced Off-Board Electronic Warfare system (AOEW), a pod that can be carried by MH-60R and MH-60S Seahawk helicopters, demonstrating its ability to engage and defeat anti-ship missiles. Developed by Lockheed Martin, the AOEW pod provides distributed electronic warfare capabilities to protect Navy ships. The system is designed to detect and counter anti-ship missile threats by electronically presenting false targets and disrupting enemy sensors. The Navy plans to field the AN/ALQ-248 pod on MH-60S helicopters as well. The successful test marks a significant milestone in the Navy's broader electronic warfare ambitions.
