BAE Systems unveils 3DAWS threat management solution.

“With the rapidly evolving threat environment, any future threat detection system must address a first-encounter threat scenario and must do so by efficiently and smartly utilizing fielded and future countermeasure techniques,” said Cheryl Paradis, director of Threat Management Solutions at BAE Systems. “Our new 3DAWS solution provides the capability to first make a definitive threat assessment — determining whether a track is a false alarm or an incoming threat — and then quickly respond with the appropriate countermeasure.”

At the heart of 3DAWS is BAE Systems’ passively-cued, semi-active radio frequency 3D Tracker™ technology. Serving as an adjunct to the company’s Common Missile Warning System or any future passive threat detection system, the 3D Tracker technology provides the third dimension to the system’s detection process and allows for definitive threat assessment.

Built to be highly modular and with open architecture standards, the 3DAWS suite integrates with all existing U.S. Army aircraft, has the flexibility to work with fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, and can be tightly integrated with existing radar or laser warning systems, providing a third dimension to those passive systems.
