In receiver mode, the switch would pass the received radar signal to the ALQ-161�s radar warning receiver for identification of the threat. The switch allows the ALQ-161 to rapidly switch between functions as needed based on the detected threat and the programmed countermeasure technique.� IMPEDIMENT TO COMPETITION The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for this item was Eaton Advanced Electronic (CAGE 00752), now L3Harris (CAGE 82340).
