As part of Gripen’s E/F Electronic Warfare capability, Saab has reveals development of a new decoy missile system, the Lightweight Air-launched Decoy Missile. The decoy missile and the new Electronic Attack Jammer Pod, which Saab began flight testing of 2019, will ensure that fighter pilots are increasingly protected from enemy radars and missiles. The new decoy missile will be a highly capable stand-in jammer for the most demanding missions, will act as a force multiplier as it reduces the number of missiles and aircraft required to complete a mission. “The decoy missile can jam or create false targets for acquisition, tracking, fire control and airborne radars”.
