U.S. Navy shipboard electronic warfare (EW) experts are asking L3Harris Technologies Inc. to build special EW payloads to help protect Navy warships from enemy anti-ship cruise missiles.

Officials of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington announced a potential $2`,6 million order last week for the MK 234 Nulka Advanced Decoy Architecture Program (ADAP)-series payloads.

The ADAP missile-defense payload provides an advanced EW transmitter and increased signal processing capability to target specific threats that the current payload on the shipboard Nulka decoy does not.

ADAP payloads are designed to lure missiles away from their intended targets with advanced electronic techniques. The ADAP payloads are an upgrade to the existing Nulka decoy.
