BAE Systems manufactures the electronic warfare package for the Lockheed Martin F-35, called AN / ASQ-239 Barracuda.

The avionics and sensors of the system provide a 360-degree view of the aircraft's surroundings, detecting and geolocating electronic issuers to give pilots the option to evade, confront, counteract or block threats.

The company will support all the variants and customers of F-35 worldwide according to the contract.
