EO/IR Warning & Countermeasures Tech
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates the advanced warning and countermeasure technologies required to negate electro-optical/infrared and laser threats to aerospace platforms. Develops off-board (decoys and expendables) and on-board countermeasure technologies for aircraft self-protection to provide robust, affordable solutions for protection against infrared missiles with autonomous seekers, multi-spectral threats, laser-guided weapons, and electro-optical/infrared tracking systems used to direct electro-optical/infrared and radar-guided missiles. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 63691X, EO/IR Warning & Countermeasures Tech is transferred from PE 0603270F, Electronic Combat Technologies to PE 0603035F, Project 63691X, EO/IR Warning & Countermeasures Tech, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE Consolidation in order to realign technology areas that better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Operating Concept and AF Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Technology Directorate located in Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
