About this program
The Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) operating under the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation. The program focuses on developing and procuring advanced electronic warfare systems and countermeasures for military applications, including onboard jamming systems, defensive electronic warfare capabilities, and associated test and evaluation infrastructure. This comprehensive program encompasses both hardware and software components designed to protect military assets through electronic countermeasure technologies.
Contract awards under IDECM range from relatively small purchase orders of $54,000 to major production contracts exceeding $184 million, with performance periods typically spanning 1-5 years. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command is the predominant contracting agency, with L3Harris Technologies and BAE Systems serving as primary prime contractors. Notable subcontractors include Teledyne Defense Electronics, Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions, and TTM Technologies. Key deliverables include AN/ALQ-214A(V)4/5 Onboard Jammer Systems, SLQ-32(V)6 components, test stations, and various electronic warfare subsystems. While most contracts are awarded without set-aside designations, some smaller awards are designated for small businesses or veteran-owned small businesses. Primary places of performance include Clifton, New Jersey, and various contractor facilities across the United States. Contract types are predominantly firm-fixed-price, with some cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements for research and development work.
