DAIRCM Development
Abstract
The AN/AAQ-45 Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasures (DAIRCM) system consists of three major components: Missile Warning Sensors, processor, and inexhaustible countermeasures. DAIRCM interfaces with the platform aircraft and provides signals to onboard Aircraft Survival Equipment (ASE). DAIRCM includes the development and testing of advanced infrared countermeasures systems for emerging threats and emergency contingencies for ASE suite integration. This program also adopts future multi-band, networking capabilities to facilitate real-time transfer of threat information, and off-board queuing and control of onboard sensors as well as studies and evaluations of current and future aircraft threats, modeling and simulation for improved countermeasure capabilities, and development and testing and test equipment to address new and emerging threats. The projects in this element improve the aircraft survivability of Department of Navy (DoN) assault aircraft in complex terrain for worldwide deployment. FY 2019 RDT&E funding required to complete JUONS testing and began developing design considerations for the future DAIRCM solution. The Risk reduction efforts evaluated technical opportunities to reduce weight, increase effectiveness, determine suitability lessons learned from the JUONs approach options to improve situational awareness. FY 2020 RDT&E funding required for resolution of JUONS test deficiencies, complete Quick Reaction Assessment and for continuation of the risk reduction to prepare for the contract award, development of the Government tracking software, development of (under glass) integrated hardware/software solutions that link on-board integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE). DAIRCM Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Contract award in 3Q20 will start the preparation for System Requirements Review 2 and System Functional Review with the prime contractor. Continue studies and evaluations of current and future aircraft threats, modeling and simulation for improved countermeasure capabilities, and development and testing and test equipment to address new and emerging threats, which include sharing of testing opportunities within DoD. FY21: Complete Preliminary Design Review. Development to support Critical Design Review(CDR) in 2Q2022. Initiate modeling and simulations to support CDR. Complete size, weight, and power analysis to support integration with platforms. Examine long lead Engineering Development Models (EDM) and Production Representative Models (PRM) supply sources to reduce supply risk for platform integration test and evaluation. Complete B-Kit preliminary development to support contractor developmental testing.
