Advanced IR Counter Measures (AIRCM)
Abstract
The Advanced Infrared Countermeasure (AIRCM) project contains related aircraft self-protection efforts aimed at increasing aircraft survivability against the increasing threat of sophisticated infrared-guided surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles. These missiles may employ sophisticated next-generation electro-optics or dual-mode IR and radio frequency seekers. AIRCM will provide advanced IR expendable countermeasures and/or IRCM techniques that will be functionally compatible with existing dispenser systems and employed across multiple USAF weapons systems. This also explicitly includes any and all flare and decoy development and testing that may be demanded or needed in current operations supporting the war on terrorism regardless of aircraft platform. Similar activities that are supplementary to this effort may be accomplished ad hoc using platform specific funding or through other testing activities such as joint services or NATO test groups.
