The Navy equips its tactical aircraft with electronic warfare systems, such as radar warning receivers and jammers, to protect them from hostile weapons. The radar warning receiver alerts the pilot that the aircraft is being tracked by a hostile radar, and the jammer transmits electronic signals to deceive or otherwise interfere with the radar. The Navy believes that these systems are important for the aircraft to be able to accomplish their mission and survive in a wartime environment. Therefore, ensuring that these systems are maintained and operating properly is critical to accomplishing the Navy's mission.
