EWS39 is Saab's integrated EW system for the Gripen multi-role fighter aircraft. The system is modular with a built-in flexibility allowing the system to be configured to specific customer needs.

The modular approach also permits later upgrades to incorporate technological advances or added functionality, allowing the system the future growth potential to deal with the ever-changing EW environment.

The basic system consists of five Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), four Wing Tip Units (WTUs) and an Electronic Warfare Central Unit (EWCU). Basic frequency coverage for the RWR is E- to J -band. However, the RF coverage may be increased to suit specific customer needs. The system is prepared to handle PMW, LWR, decoys, dispensers for expendables, an internal jammer as well as an external jamming pod. EWS39 interacts with the Stores Management Computer (SMU) for control of the expendables.

EWS39 communicates with other aircraft avionics via a standard 1553B bus and is designed to interact, and in most cases be controlled by the carriage aircraft's Systems Computer (SC). In the current configuration, the aircraft's SC provides EWS39 with mission data such as the threat and techniques library. In the current configuration, the SC also processes data from EWS39 for recording, display and audio purposes. The system uses an open architecture based on the VME bus standard. Application software includes functions for emitter identification, estimating emitter location, performing dynamic threat analysis and managing countermeasures.

With all options incorporated, EWS39 will bestow the carriage aircraft with the capability to fulfil self-protection missions and escort jamming in both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
