PROVIDENCE – Textron System’s Corp. announced on Tuesday that it has been awarded a $9.4 million contract to provide advanced electronic warfare simulators to the U.S. Air Force. Under the contract awarded by IMPRES Technology Solutions Inc., Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. company based in Hunt Valley, Md., will deliver multiple A2PATS [Advanced Architecture Phase Amplitude and Time Simulator] electronic warfare simulators and provide support, testing and spares to the 68th Electronic Warfare Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The A2PATS system offers advanced capabilities for stimulating a wide range of signals, including electronic and communication intelligence. It uses an innovative Direct-Port Architecture that makes the system completely modular and scalable and allows for precise replication of the phase, amplitude and time of arrival of radio frequency signals across a broad frequency range, making it suitable for testing radar warning receivers, electronic support measure suites and communications sensors. The A2PATS will enable the Air Force and our allied nations to test the newest Radar Warning Receivers against advanced threats in high-fidelity, secure environments. “The A2PATS system is capable of simultaneously simulating both electronic intelligence and communications intelligence signals, allowing for the modeling of an entire integrated air defense system,” said Steve Mensh, senior vice president of Textron's electronic systems. “What we’re providing to the U.S. Air Force and our allied nations is a realistic environment for testing and training of modern electronic warfare capabilities.” IMPRES Technology Solutions based in Round Rock, Texas, is a provider of mission-focused IT solutions supporting federal agencies and defense partners across critical environments. The company delivers secure, scalable capabilities spanning cybersecurity, networking, data center and workforce enablement, with expertise in supporting complex testing, simulation and operational requirements.
