BAE Systems said it will begin developing the Dual Band Decoys for U.S. Navy’s fighter jets, following a contract award last fall and a protest from competitor Raytheon.
The Navy awarded the company a $54 million contract in September to design and build the decoy, which the company says will be one of the most advanced radio frequency countermeasures in the world.
