The 36th Electronic Warfare Squadron (EWS) is responsible for maintaining and updating the operational mission data (MD) for the ALR-69A Digital Radar Warning Receiver (DRWR), ALR-69 RWR, ALR-56M RWR, and ALQ-213 Countermeasures System (CMS) installed in Combat Air Forces (CAF) A-10 and F-16 aircraft. These systems improve aircraft survivability from both ground and air threats. The ALR-69A is a digital upgrade to the legacy ALR-69, and potentially the ALR-56M, and will be integrated with the ALQ-213. The ALR-69A is currently undergoing operational test and evaluation (OT&E) pending a Force Development Evaluation (FDE) in 2020. 36 EWS builds combat representative MD for these events and will inherit creation, updating, testing, and release of operational MD for the ALR-69A after Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in FY22. To support organic MD testing, 36 EWS is pursuing the acquisition of an RF Simulator to stimulate the ALR-69A and ALQ-213 with simulations of theater-specific emitters for all of ACC's areas of responsibility. This is needed to satisfy the requirements directed in AFI 10-703, Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming.
