2-Color Advanced Warning System improves aircraft survivability for heavy lift, utility, and attack helicopters

MERRIMACK, N.H., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BAE Systems (LON:BA) has successfully completed the delivery of 400 2-Color Advanced Warning Systems (2CAWS) to the U.S. Army as part of the Limited Interim Missile Warning System (LIMWS) program. The advanced aircraft survivability systems have proven themselves in combat, defeating sophisticated missile threats and protecting Army aviators and airborne soldiers.

These advanced aircraft survivability systems are combat-proven, protecting Army aviators and airborne soldiers.

Under the LIMWS Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) contract, BAE Systems designed, developed, and delivered 2CAWS to protect U.S. Army utility, heavy-lift, and attack helicopters. This solution provides highly effective, next-generation threat detection and warning capabilities that improve aircrews’ survivability. The systems use modern multi-spectral sensors, a high-speed digital backbone, and machine learning algorithms to quickly and accurately detect threats in complex environments, and cue laser-based and expendable countermeasures.

“Protecting U.S. Army helicopters is core to our mission,” said Dave Harrold, vice president and general manager of Countermeasure & Electromagnetic Attack Solutions at BAE Systems. “We’ve worked closely with Army Aviation to provide cutting-edge capabilities that protect crews from evolving threats, provide adversarial overmatch, and enable warfighters to execute missions in contested battlespace.”

2CAWS-equipped aircraft have successfully flown thousands of hours in operational environments. The system builds on the proven missile warning capabilities of BAE Systems’ Common Missile Warning System (CMWS), which is currently fielded on thousands of U.S. Army and international armed forces’ aircraft and has demonstrated its effectiveness and reliability over millions of flight hours.

A leader in next-generation threat warning and countermeasure systems, BAE Systems is actively developing new capabilities. The company has deep expertise in executing critical QRC programs and fielding systems optimized for the size, weight, and power constraints and rigorous operating conditions of rotary-wing aircraft.

Work on the aircraft survivability technology is conducted at the company’s facilities in Huntsville, Alabama, and Merrimack, New Hampshire.

Americans prepare for anticipated economic shifts under President-elect Donald Trump.

SEATTLE, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — StorageUnits.com, a reliable and user-friendly platform for finding the best and most convenient storage facilities, recently published findings from a December 2024 survey examining Americans’ preparedness in response to anticipated economic shifts under President-elect Donald Trump. The survey of 1,750 U.S. residents highlights significant stockpiling activity and large purchases.

According to the survey, 28% of Americans are actively stockpiling goods, with another 17% planning to start soon. Household essentials (78%) and non-perishable foods (78%) rank as the most commonly stockpiled items, while 20% of respondents say they are stockpiling a year’s supply or more. Among active stockpilers, 15% have already spent over $1,000, and 7% are using rental storage units to manage their surplus goods.

Fear of tariffs is a key driver behind this behavior, with 9 in 10 respondents expressing concern about how Trump’s proposed tariffs will impact the cost of goods. The survey also reveals that 1 in 3 Americans have made or plan to make large purchases—such as electronics, appliances, and cars—before Trump takes office, citing his election as a significant influence on their decisions.
