The biennial “Hawgsmoke 2006” competition kicked off this week at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., with the arrival of 20 A-10 squadrons from around the world.

BAE Systems is building a new slate of compact electronic warfare tools for small airborne platforms that could coordinate with fighters, work with helicopters, or augment legacy aircraft with outdated, hard-to-update EW suites.
