Tact Air Dir Infrared CM (TADIRCM)

Abstract

This element includes development of electronic warfare systems for worldwide deployment of United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) assault aircraft. This includes the development and testing of advanced infrared (IR) countermeasures systems for aircraft survivability against emerging threats and for emergency contingencies. This program develops Hostile Fire Indication (HFI), and Laser Warning Sensors that integrates IR missile countermeasures with aircraft Countermeasures Dispensing Systems (CMDS) and expendables. DAIRCM adopts future multi-band, networking capabilities to facilitate real-time transfer of threat information, and off-board queuing and control of onboard sensors. DAIRCM studies and evaluates current and future aircraft threats, makes modeling and simulation for improved countermeasure capabilities, develops, tests and provides test equipment to address new and emerging threats for improved aircraft survivability of assault aircraft in complex terrain. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
