The Multi-Function Electronic Warfare-Air Large (MFEW-AL) is part of the Army’s renewed focus on advanced electronic warfare technologies following a period of neglect. Lockheed Martin is leading the development of this self-contained pod, which was originally designed to be mounted on an MQ-1C Gray Eagle drone produced by General Atomics.
However, there are now discussions about its broader applications. A few days ago, the US Army showcased the MFEW-AL pod in Aberdeen, Maryland.
