# Greece Evaluates F-16 Electronic-Warfare Systems

The Hellenic Air Force received presentations from L3Harris on March 5, 2026, and Northrop Grumman on October 20, 2026, on electronic-warfare self-protection options for Greece’s F-16 Viper fleet. L3Harris is promoting the AN/ALQ-254(V)1 Viper Shield, while Northrop Grumman is promoting the AN/ALQ-257 IVEWS. Greece has announced no system selection, contract value, procurement contract, or award schedule, so this remains an early-stage competitive opportunity.

- The presentations identify two competing systems; contractors may use their capabilities and proposed integration approaches to understand the emerging competitive landscape.
- Companies interested in the opportunity should look for a formal acquisition and integration scope, as neither a solicitation nor award timeline has been announced.
