The U.S. Air Force and Raytheon Missile Systems recently completed the first free-flight test of the Miniature Air Launched Decoy-Jammer (MALD-J), the Tucson-based company said Wednesday.
The test sets the stage for a critical design review in 2010 and a possible decision on production in early 2011, Raytheon said in a news release.
The MALD-J adds radar-jamming capability to the basic MALD, a relatively low-cost, air-launched and programmable craft that mimics the flight profiles and radar signatures of U.S. and allied aircraft. |
