JATAS

Abstract

The Joint and Allied Threat Awareness System (JATAS) is required to provide assault aircraft with a reliable surface-to-air Infrared (IR) missile/Hostile Fire Indication (HFI) threat detection system. This capability must provide accurate and timely warning in all flight regimes, ambient light conditions, clutter backgrounds and weather conditions. It must be capable of providing countermeasure cueing to flares and/or a Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM). JATAS will enable assault Aircraft Survivability Equipment to detect and provide countermeasure cueing to current and emerging threats. Lead Department of the Navy platform for this capability is the MV-22. Project was previously funded by the Tactical Aircraft Directed Infrared Countermeasure (TADIRCM) project unit. JATAS has been designated an ACAT IC program. New PU 3302 JATAS began in FY 2011. Prior year efforts (FY 2008 - FY 2010) were funded via PU 3040 TADIRCM.
