在空军一项拨款的支持下,格鲁曼航宇公司和通用动力公司都各自在研究更新EF-111干扰飞机上EW设备的办法。一旦研究工作完成,预计将有可能在1990财年向工业界发出有关此项更新计划的竞争性征求建议书。由于预算削减和盛行紧缩经济之风,观察家们相信,现成的硬设备会吸引空军的注意力。作为该EW设备的一个重要的组成部份,显然要选用的现成设备是利顿·阿迈康 With support from the Air Force’s grant, Grumman Aerospace and General Dynamics are each studying ways to update the EF-111 to interfere with EW equipment on the aircraft. Once the research work is completed, it is expected that it will be possible to issue a competitive solicitation proposal for this updated plan to the industry in fiscal year 1990. Because of the budget cuts and the prevailing winds of tightening the economy, observers believe that off-the-shelf hardware will attract the Air Force’s attention. As an important part of the EW device, the ready-to-use equipment that is obviously to be selected is Lidtham Amelcom.
