CIRCM
Abstract
Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM) was a new start for the Navy in FY 2013. 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 threat 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 rotary-wing, tilt-rotor, and small fixed-wing aircraft across the Department of Defense. It also designated the program as an Acquisition Category (ACAT) ID special interest program. The Army has designated the acquisition effort for this capability as the CIRCM program. CIRCM is being evaluated as a potential replacement for Guardian Laser Tracker Assemblies (GLTA) on the DoN LAIRCM system. Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasure (DAIRCM) developmental activities in hardware and software are being pursued to reduce the size, weight and power required to achieve a threat warning detection system integrated with an infrared countermeasure. DAIRCM development, integration and testing will first be conducted in a federated configuration to support Joint Urgent Operational Need Statement (JUONS) SO-0010 with follow-on work beginning in FY 2018 to provide an integrated (under glass) solution to host platforms. This program develops integrated hardware/software solutions that link on-board integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) that are compatible with mission planning information and store 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. CIRCM Funds for FY19 through FY23 are realigned to DAIRCM PU 3348.
