BAE Systems received $114 million in Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contracts from the US Army for AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS).
CMWS is a combat-proven aircraft survivability system for rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft that integrates incoming missile warning, hostile fire indication, and countermeasure controls. CMWS provides the US and its allies with advanced threat detection and countermeasure control capabilities that protect aircraft and air crews who operate in hostile battlefield conditions.
According to the company, CMWS systems have been installed on different platform types worldwide. It is the standard warning system for the US Army aircraft and has millions of combat flight hours and a proven ability to protect aircraft and save lives in evolving threat environments.
With the new FMS contracts, additional US allies now procure CMWS. The allies will use these systems to protect existing fleets and newly-acquired aircraft, including AH-64 Apache, CH-47 Chinook, and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

CMWS is compatible with expendable countermeasure dispensers, including BAE Systems’ AN/ALE-47 Airborne Countermeasures Dispenser System and Smart D2TM next-generation countermeasure system as well as laser-based directable infrared countermeasure systems.
BAE Systems’ CMWS is part of the company’s Intrepid ShieldTM layered approach to aircraft and ground platform survivability that uses the full electromagnetic spectrum to detect, exploit, and counter advanced threats.
