U.S. firm Harris Corp to upgrade Morocco's F-16 fleet with AIDEWS defensive aids suite
Thursday, 24 November 2016 15:27
Morocco ordered American tech firm Harris Corporation which also operates in the defense sector for advanced electronic warfare suites
This was revealed by defense-focused website, FAR-Maroc. The cost of the system was however not disclosed.
AIDEWS as the system is called helps detect, jam radar signals of anti-air defense land-air missiles and of air-air missiles of air fighters. It will be equipped on the F-16 Block 52 bought by the Moroccan Royal Air Forces (FRA) in 2013.
With this new order, Harris Corporation boosts its cooperation with the Moroccan royal army. Truly, in May 2016, the firm got the approval of the U.S. State Department for Defense to equip Morocco's royal armed Forces with a Sincgars (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems) for nearly four billion dirham ($415 million).
