Under the new order, Sypris will produce modules for additional systems to be delivered to a U.S. Department of Defense contractor, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2027. Terms of the award were not disclosed.

The assemblies to be produced by Sypris will be integrated into an electronic warfare improvement program for the U.S. Navy. According to public sources, the upgrade will provide the capability to actively jam incoming missiles that threaten a warship, cue decoys and adapt quickly to evolving threats. The improvements to the electronic attack portion will provide integrated countermeasures against radio frequency-guided threats, according to the U.S. Navy.

The system is software-defined. Unlike analog systems of the past, the transmitters and receivers can easily adjust to send and receive different waveforms, allowing the system to be more readily adaptable. The U.S. Naval Institute reported that the system’s capability for non-kinetic electronic attack options can be further deployed in additional critical areas. From advanced communications to multi-role waveforms, the multi-function applications of the system will provide enhanced mission capabilities to the U.S. Navy Fleet while presenting opportunities for future reductions in cost, size, weight and power.
