Electro-Optical Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST)

Abstract

Technology development and engineering and manufacturing development of an IRST sensor for the F/A-18 E/F. Block I supports technology development and engineering and manufacturing development of an IRST sensor for the F/A-18E/F to provide an alternate fire control system in a high Electronic Attack / Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) denied environment. Block II IRST modifies the Infra-Red Receiver and processor to provide full Capabilities Development Document capability and enhanced warfighting capability through an improved engagement timeline, improved situational awareness, longer range passive detection and tracking and a larger field of regard with specification performance.
