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. Off-board (decoys and expendables) and on-board countermeasure technologies developed for aircraft self-protection will provide robust, affordable solutions for protection against infrared missiles with autonomous seekers, multi-spectral threats, laser-guided weapons, and electro-optical and infrared tracking systems used to direct electro-optical, infrared, and radar-guided missiles.
