Current IssueProper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.
All About That Route
Most designers favor manual routing, but today's interactive autorouters may be changing designers' minds by allowing users more direct control. In this issue, our expert contributors discuss a variety of manual and autorouting strategies.

Northrop Grumman to Equip Australian C-130J Fleet with Radio Frequency Countermeasures System
April 7, 2025 | Northrop GrummanEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) to provide the AN/ALQ-251 advanced radio frequency countermeasures system for its C-130J airlifter fleet.
- The AN/ALQ-251 provides robust protection against advanced weapon systems and agile electronic warfare systems in dense electromagnetic spectrum environments.
- The system gives aircrews full situational awareness, radar warning and precision direction finding of radio frequency threats.
- RAAF C-130J integration takes advantage of commonality with a current United States Department of Defense program of record, reducing lifecycle costs and enabling interoperability.
Expert:
James Conroy, vice president, navigation, targeting and survivability, Northrop Grumman: “With the increase of advanced radio frequency threats, our digital AN/ALQ-251 system allows the RAAF’s C-130J fleet the freedom of maneuver to carry out its wide range of humanitarian and national security missions safely.”
Details on AN/ALQ-251:
The Northrop Grumman AN/ALQ-251 is a radio frequency countermeasures system that provides radar warning, threat identification, geolocation and countermeasure capabilities, with the flexibility to adapt to future threats. It is currently in production for the U.S. Department of Defense and is available to international partners.
The AN/ALQ-251 is part of Northrop Grumman’s family of electronic warfare systems that scale to virtually any platform or mission, including current and future platforms. Northrop Grumman’s sensors and electronic warfare systems give warfighters superiority across the spectrum and allow for faster, more informed decision making.
