While previously, it was believed that this class of weapons was still under testing.
The recently tested system also provides extended frequency, full spatial coverage, and rapid responses. The company also added that the system features highly efficient broadband power amplifiers and adaptive modulations for countermeasure purposes designed to "detect, identify, locate, and defeat even the latest generation of sensors and weapons".To test the system's effectiveness, the IVEWS was linked to the U.S.
At Northrop Grumman, James Conroy, Vice President of navigation, targeting, and survivability, said, “As advanced radio frequency threats continue to proliferate, the protection afforded by IVEWS is essential.

Misleading posts claim author Wole Soyinka asked Nigeria's president-elect to step downA social media post circulating in Nigeria claims that Nobel Prize-winning author Wole Soyinka asked Nigerian president-elect Bola Tinubu to step down within two days and return the certificate issued by the electoral commission declaring him as the winning candidate. Some posts also claimed that Soyinka told Tinubu to hand over the presidential certificate to Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate who came in third place during the February election. But these posts are misleading: During an April interview with a local TV station, Soyinka said he had spoken with Tinubu before the election, and at that time had asked him to step down and allow for the “infusion of fresh blood into the system”. At no point during the interview did he ask Tinubu to return his presidential certificate nor to give it to Obi.
