“Lockheed Martin said it successfully tested an electronic warfare pod it’s developing for use in helicopters to detect and deceive anti-ship missiles.”
This is a big deal as it allows escorts and other ships (including maybe Coast Guard cutters) operating independently of aircraft carriers to enjoy the protection of airborne electronic warfare countermeasures.
