RNLAF CH-47F Helicopters Equipped With Missile Warning Systems












Northrop Grumman has been selected by the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) to provide the AAR-54 Missile Warning System (MWS) for its CH-47F Chinook helicopters.

Under the terms of the multi-million dollar contract, Northrop Grumman's Defensive Systems Division will provide eight MWS shipsets and spares, in addition to follow-on support, to the RNLAF beginning in Jan. 2009 and continuing through Jan. 2010.

The AAR-54(V) is a fourth-generation Missile Approach Warning System now in production and available for use on virtually every platform - helicopters, fast jets, tactical and widebody aircraft.

In all applications, this compact, lightweight system provides outstanding clutter rejection, long-range and short-shot missile detection, rapid automatic cueing to the countermeasures system, and increased situational awareness capabilities via heads-up display or radar warning receiver display.
