If anyone knows where the RF/microwave/radar systems are being developed, let me know. I need a change from missiles.

It appears that Raytheon is the sub-contractor radar-wise. Obviously they aren't using the same system as the Australian AEWs that are going have that big antenna in front of the fin.

From Boeing's PR site.

" Northrop Grumman's Baltimore-based Electronic Systems sector will provide the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, the directional infrared countermeasures system, and the electronic support measures system. Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems sector, based in Reston, Va., will develop data links for MMA. The company's Integrated Systems sector, based in El Segundo, Calif., will support the mission planning effort.

Raytheon will provide an upgraded APS-137 Maritime Surveillance Radar and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) solutions. Raytheon is also offering its revolutionary GPS Anti-Jam, Integrated Friend or Foe, and Towed Decoy Self-Protection Suites, and the aircraft's Broadcast Info System (BIS) and secure UHF Satcom capability."

I think that Northrop's radar boys used to be Westinghouse and W. sold them to N-G. But I wouldn't testify to that :]
