Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) systems improve survivability through enhanced situational awareness

The C-130J, one of several aircraft using an upgraded AN/ALR-56M Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) by BAE Systems to detect potential threats.

BAE Systems produces and services Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) systems that improve mission survivability for tactical, fighter, and transport aircraft around the world, including advanced system upgrades in legacy fleets.

When pilots and crews undertake a mission, their aircraft's RWR system provides them with vital and timely information about potential threats from the ground and air. The primary function of the RWR is to detect potentially hostile radars, providing pilots and crews enhanced situational awareness and improved survivability.

BAE Systems is a leader in electronic warfare technology, including Radar Warning Receivers that advance and support both line-fit RWR systems and retro-fit RWR upgrades worldwide.
