SRC wins contract to manufacture and deliver 40 CEAR systems

SRC Inc. has been awarded a $5.2 million contract from BAESystems to build and deliver 40 Common Electronic Attack Receiver (CEAR) systems.The 40 CEAR systems will be manufactured in Syracuse, New York, by SRCTec LLC,an SRC subsidiary.

SRC's CEAR system performs real-time analysis ofcountermeasures for true-to-life training against RF threats. The system is akey component in both the Unmanned Threat Emitter (UMTE) and Joint ThreatEmitter (JTE) systems, helping military aircraft in testing their ability todetect and defeat real-world threats.

The CEAR system can detect and evaluate the effectiveness ofcountermeasures including range and velocity deception, amplitude modulation,chaff and noise. It also supports reactive threat simulation, creating a morerealistic training environment to better prepare our warfighters for an actualsurface-to-air missile (SAM) attack.

“The CEAR system is crucial to closing the test andevaluation feedback loop, ensuring the effectiveness of our RF countermeasuresto help our warfighters complete their mission and return home safely,” saidPaul G. Tremont, CEO of SRC.
