CH-53 DIRCM TAP

Abstract

This supplemental helps to accelerate the fielding of an advanced InfraRed Countermeasure (IRCM) capability for United States Navy (USN)/ United States Marine Corps (USMC) rotary wing platforms. This capability will significantly increase platform survivability against Man Portable Air Defense (MANPADs) and is required to defeat advanced threats expected to be encountered in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) theaters. Without this capability USN / USMC rotary wing platform will be limited in their ability to engage/complete mission in support of GWOT. This effort will entail the qualification and tests required to field an advanced IRCM capability on the CH-53E, in addition to the nonrecurring engineering costs necessary to address the limitation of the current Assault Support Equipment (ASE) Missile Warning Sensor (MWS) capability on forward deployed USN / USMC rotary wing platforms.
