CIRCM
Abstract
Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM) was a new start for the Navy. This project includes the development, integration, and testing of a laser-based directed infrared countermeasure system for United States Navy and United States Marine Corps assault aircraft. This infrared countermeasure, when integrated with a missile warning detection system, will be capable of countering current and emerging IR threats. An USD (AT&L) Acquisition Decision Memorandum dated 15 April 09 designated the Army as the lead service for developing this capability for all rotary-wing, tilt-rotor, and small fixed-wing aircraft across the Department of Defense. It also designated the program as an ACAT ID Special Interest program. The Army has designated the acquisition effort for this capability as the CIRCM program.
