DAIRCM Development
Abstract
Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasures (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 Needs Statement (JUONS) SO-0010 to provide increased survivability against Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG), hostile gunfire, Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) and laser-directed weapons. Follow-on work began in FY 2018 to provide an integrated (under glass) solution to the host platforms and will include development efforts to procure future threat technologies. 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. FY2019 Efforts will focus on completion of JUONS testing and installation of DAIRCM. FY19 will also begin risk reduction efforts for a POR start in FY20. The POR solution improves performance of the DAIRCM system, meets statutory requirements via Hardware and Software specifications and integration (under glass) with the MH-60S host platform, while maintaining interfaces for further integration for MH-60R, AH1Z, and UH-1Y. FY 2020 RDT&E funding required for continued development of the DAIRCM system (HW and SW) and integration (under glass) of the DAIRCM solution on MH-60S platforms. MH-60S is the focus platform in early development and for DAIRCM performance testing. The AH-1Z and UH-1Y, and MH-60R integration specific development will begin at the DAIRCM contractors following MH-60S integration and will focus on ensuring the required interfaces are captured and developed for integration testing to be conducted at a later time. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
