AN/ALE-55 fiber-optic towed decoy
Today’s RF threat is growing, not only in numbers, but also in capability. For mission success across a range of hostile environments, self-protection is essential for all aircraft, from fighters to bombers to transports. Robust RF self-protection is available from BAE Systems’ AN/ALE-55 fiber-optic towed decoy (FOTD).
Unlike traditional decoys, such as straight-through repeaters, the fiber-optic towed decoy is coherent and works synergistically with an aircraft’s onboard electronic warfare (EW) equipment to defeat RF threats. It protects aircraft throughout the threat envelope, delivering three layers of defense.
