CIRCM
Abstract
Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM) was a new start for the Navy in FY13. 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 infrared threats. An Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD (AT&L)) Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) dated 15 April 2009 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 Aquisition Category (ACAT) ID special interest program. The Army has designated the acquisition effort for this capability as the CIRCM program. Developmental activities in hardware and software will be pursued to reduce the size, weight and power required to achieve a missile warning detection system integrated with an infrared countermeasure. This project develops integrated hardware/software solutions that link on-board integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) that are compatible with mission planning information and stores sensor data for post mission threat analysis. This project also adopts future multi-band, networking capabilities to facilitate real-time transfer of threat information, and off-board queuing and control of onboard sensors.
