Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP)
Taking Back the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Detect, Deceive, Disrupt
The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 3 is an upgrade to the legacy AN/SLQ-32 system, and provides game-changing capability for non-kinetic electronic attack options to the U.S. fleet. The advantage of this electronic attack system is that it provides a non-kinetic, soft-kill magazine to defeat inbound threats.
The AN/SLQ-32(V)7 SEWIP Block 3 system protects surface ships from anti-ship missiles, providing early detection, signal analysis and threat warning.
Northrop Grumman was awarded the follow-on production contract with the U.S. Navy in September 2020. The program is managed by the U.S. Navy Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS).

Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO), Joint All Domain Command (JADC2) and Control, and Project Overmatch
Northrop Grumman is bringing our expertise in electronic warfare across all domains to support the Fleet’s concept and vision of DMO to deliver a viable, NEXGEN solution at the speed of relevance. The ability to connect platforms, sensors, and shooters allows for actionable data sharing and more coordinated, secure communications, which enhances faster decision-making across the Fleet.
In a battlespace where data is a commodity, having one shared network across services will be the key to unite all platforms, sensors and weapons systems to create a single environment to execute distributed and fully integrated maritime operations. JADC2 and more recently, Navy’s Project Overmatch, are both focused on similar challenges.
At Northrop Grumman, we are designing for the future and leveraging digital, open architectures to quickly deliver affordable, high quality capabilities to the Fleet and our Joint Force. DMO requires both assured communications as well as resilient C2 to coordinate effects across the disaggregated force. Broad sharing of ISR data streams will enable a whole-of-force, multi-domain response with both kinetic and non-kinetic effects. Northrop Grumman leverages advanced technologies, close teamwork and a culture of innovation and trust that enable the Navy to deter aggression and maintain maritime superiority. We are creating the essential data elements and network architectures that increase survivability, lethality and battlespace awareness for the force. We continue to operationalize solutions to help make these concepts a reality to create a more connected Navy.
