Terma’sAN/ALQ-213(V) Electronic Warfare Management System is operational and combatproven on more than 2000 fighters, helicopters and transport aircraft worldwide.• During these years, the ALQ-213 has achieved a position as the only system in themarket that is independent of platform or subsystems suppliers and is able to controland integrate any combination of sensors and countermeasures systems on any typeof aircraft and make these work as one system.• Terma is the only integrator that includes the structural packaging in the total solution,typically in the form of Terma designed pods, pylons or other fixtures that allow rotationof systems within the fleet. This approach reduces the cost of aircraft modifications andallows for fewer systems overall.• Terma provides combat proven, automatic threat response through Electronic CombatAdaptive Processing and offers multinationally tested Embedded Training so pilots cantruthfully say, “We train as we fight”.• Pilot-Vehicle-Interface is the most advanced in the market, with separate, full colorthreat display or glass cockpit integration, Three Dimensional Audio Warning of attack,Active Noise Reduction and radio channel separation.• Terma has a proven record of developing, qualifying and delivering complete customtailored self-protection installations within 3-6 months utilizing our fast respondingorganization and unique modular product portfolio.• All EW suites are offered with advanced Mission Support tools and full organic andlogistic support. Mission Support tools can be operated stand-alone or integrated withcommon mission programming and debriefing system tools for multi-player training.• Terma’s EW Controller is the only solution offering commonality and common softwareacross the aircraft fleet.

ALQ-213, the World’s Most WidelyUsed EW Control and Integration SystemThe AN/ALQ-213(V) Electronic Warfare Management System datesback to 1991, when the first version was installed in the DanishF-16 to better coordinate onboard EW self-protection systems andto reduce the pilot’s workload. Since then, it has been continuallyimproved and upgraded, so that it has become the most versatilesystem of its kind today, being operational on over 2000 fighters,transport aircraft and helicopters worldwide. During those years,it has proved its value in actual combat such as Bosnia, Iraq,Afghanistan and Libya.This versatility is achieved through a comprehensive set of systemcomponents that can be combined and programmed to meet therequirements of any type of mission or type and size of aircraft.ALQ-213 ComponentsA unique system of its kindCompared to similar systems, the ALQ-213 is unique in the followingways:• It is the only system that is independently based on openarchitecture, and provides a firewall between the sensor systemand the aircraft avionics system. This allows for addition of subsystemsand sensor updates that are transparent to the aircraft,are less certification intense and less costly.• Unlike many other systems the ALQ-213 is not locked to aspecific platform or EW subsystem.• The ALQ-213 is the only system that provides flexible integrationof multiple combinations of sensors, and countermeasuressystems: UV, IR, LASER, Acoustic, RF, Chaff/Flare, DIRCM,Towed Decoy, and Jammers.EW Management UnitTactical Data UnitThe combination of EW Management Unit, EWMU and theTactical Data Unit is the most widely used configuration.The EWMU is the cockpit control unit, which feeds data tothe Threat Display, the Three-Dimensional Audio system andfacilitates loading/unloading and recording of mission datathrough a dual PCM cartridge.Defensive Aids ControllerRemote Control PanelThe DAC, Defensive Aids Controller, is well suited for largeraircraft and helicopters. It combines the functionalities ofthe EWMU and TDU and also includes a ProgrammableInterference Blanker Unit, PIBU. Since the DAC is placed in theelectronics bay, it requires remote control Panel RCP for cockpitcontrol and recording, loading/unloading of mission data. Asmaller version, “Mini DAC”, is under development in orderto meet the requirement for smaller and medium size aircraftwithout the need for blanking and other kinds of expansion.F-16Other A/CLight Aircraft Survivability EquipmentFor very light aircraft and helicopters, where weight is a specialconcern, a LASE controller is under development. This controlleris a derivative of the Advanced Threat Display and it will be ableto control a subset of threat sensors and automatically dispensecountermeasures payloads.Advanced Threat DisplayFull color multi function display that gives the pilot completeinformation about the threat and the status of onboard EWsystems. In glass cockpit aircraft, this information can bepresented on existing displays.

RDAF C-130J over Copenhagen Naval BaseRevolution in Cockpit Sound Quality andPilot Situational AwarenessThe quality of sound in the cockpit be it from radios, intercom,warning signals or others sources has been a much neglectedarea for a good many years. The following systems, developed andintroduced by Terma can truthfully be described as a revolution incockpit sound quality:• Three-Dimensional Audio Warning which gives the pilot realtime audio warnings from the exact direction of attack. Theresult is a considerable reduction in reaction time and enhancedsituational awareness.• Active Noise Reduction and Electrical Noise Reduction, whichreduce pilot stress and fatigue considerably.• Radio channel separation, which improves intelligibility andoverall safety because important messages are not lost insimultaneous transmissions.• Directional intercom, which improves communication, mutualunderstanding and awareness among crew members.The improvement of sound quality is largely due to introduction of adigital stereo intercom system supported by an Enhanced IntercomAmplifier, EIA. The systems can be installed as stand alone or as anintegral part of the AN/ALQ-213(V) EW Management System on alltypes and sizes of aircraft.

Matured Decision Support and High Fidelity EmbeddedTraining as Part of the AN/ALQ-213(V) SystemElectronic Combat Adaptive Processing, ECAPFor the EW Management Unit, EWMU, to provide meaningfulsemiautomatic and automatic operation, any automation needs tomatch very carefully tactics applicable to the specific type aircraft.Since 2004, Terma together with EW national specialists, hasbeen creating a decision support solution called Electronic CombatAdaptive Processing, ECAP, as part of the ALQ-213 system. In thesame time frame, new EW Sensor/Countermeasures technologyhas also supported the need for enhanced coordination betweensensors and countermeasures. Focus of the capability circles aroundoptimized aircrew awareness of threat picture, optimized operationacross the EW suite throughout all mission phases and reduced pilotworkload.Embedded Training, ETWith the new decision support and improved EW subsystemscapabilities, enabling the end-users to familiarize themselves withhow to operate and get the best out of the EW suite, in the contextof “war”, it was clear that this could not be achieved throughtraditional methods. For example, in-flight engagements against realthreats (airborne missiles and full weapon systems), while training,are neither practicable nor possible. Therefore, Terma can provide“full EW Subsystem Simulation” for un-installed EW subsystems andprovide “Virtual Weapons Systems” against which Weapon Tacticscan be trained. This capability combination is known as EmbeddedTraining, ET. The in-cockpit experience realism and the ability togather lesson learned experience from the in-flight instrumentationduring Post Mission Training Debrief have been the lead features forfull acceptance by the pilot community.Extensive testing in different environmentsECAP and ET development has been an international project withthe European F-16 users as partners, and multi-national evaluationtesting has taken place at Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, Ørlandet,Norway and Edwards Air Force Base, USA. The end result is a newset of In-flight Tools that ensures that pilots will now be able to usethe motto, “We train as we fight” and that in case of attacks duringreal conflicts, they will have the best decision support possible.Although ECAP and ET testing was carried out within the F-16community, results are equally applicable to other types of aircraftequipped with the ALQ-213. In fact, the capabilities have beendesigned with core processing and mission data strategies, whichmeans that tailoring and re-integration to other aircraft platforms areminimized. Transfer of these capabilities onto other platform typeswithin the ALQ-213 user community has already been initiated.Post Mission Pilot debrief with EWMulti-player "Big Picture" integration of Terma's EW information (ATDand EW events) into the Common PC Debriefing System training tool.Cockpit installationAdvanced Threat Display merges all real EW information with ECAP'sdecision support information along with Embedded Training's VirtualThreats and Simulated Subsystems
