Morocco said on May 11, 2015 that one of its F-16 jets taking part in Saudi-led air strikes against Yemeni rebels was missing along with its pilot, and that a search operation was underway. The Huthi rebel television station Al-Masirah said a coalition aircraft crashed in the Wadi Nushur area in Saada, claiming that “air defence operated by tribesmen” shot it down.

Harris Corp. has been awarded a $91 million contract to provide electronic warfare systems to the Royal Moroccan Air Force.

Under the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force’s Warner Robins Air Logistic Center, Harris will supply the AN/ALQ-211 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS).

“Harris will supply AIDEWS systems, spares and support equipment and services to Morocco to help protect the RMAF F-16 aircraft fleet against current and evolving electronic threats,” a Harris news release said. “The combat-ready ALQ-211(V)4 EW system is a low-risk, modular solution that provides powerful capabilities and mission-based adaptability that have made it the top choice for five other international allies.”
