The US Army has awarded BAE Systems $137 million in foreign military sales contracts for the AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning System, expanding its deployment across allied fleets. The system identifies missile launches and hostile fire threats while coordinating defensive countermeasures such as flares and directed infrared systems. With millions of operational flight hours logged, CMWS remains a core survivability component on fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft globally. The latest contract continues sustained international demand for advanced airborne self-protection systems.
