BAE Systems Develops Advanced ‘Dual Band Decoy’ for US Navy

The U.S. Navy has tapped BAE Systems to develop the cutting edge Dual Band Decoy (DBD), one of the world’s most advanced airborne radio frequency (RF) countermeasure systems. DBD will provide advanced jamming capabilities to shield fighter jets from enemy radar and missile threats. Building on BAE’s proven AN/ALE-55 towed decoy, DBD consists of an expendable decoy towed behind the aircraft by a fiber optic cable connected to the onboard electronic warfare system. It employs the latest jamming technologies to
