ALR-2002 was selected as the Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) to satisfy the operational needs of the Australian Regular Army's S-70A-9 Black Hawk and CH-47D Chinook as an integral part of the Electronic Warfare Self Protection system to be provided under Project Echidna Phase 2A.
The ALR-2002 RWR system provides detection, direction finding, analysis and classification of radar emissions across the standard RWR frequency range. The system warns aircrew of radar emissions which represent a potential threat to the aircraft aurally and visually, via a dedicated multi-function display and/or mission computer.
The architecture of the ALR-2002 RWR can be readily adapted to a range of aircraft platforms including fast jets, rotary wing, transport and commercial aircraft.
