Aviation Airborne Expendable Countermeasures
Abstract
Project EB9 Aviation Airborne Expendable Countermeasure (AAECM) supports the advanced development activities and technology demonstrations of the AAECM to include the XM215 Flare and XM20 Radio Frequency (RF) expendables. These expendable countermeasures systems are essential parts of survivability equipment for Army aircraft. Army Research Development Technology & Evaluation (RDT&E) efforts are coordinated with Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation to address the AAECM capability, a critical enabler for the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) - Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) Cross Functional Team (CFT) within the Army's top modernization priorities. These advanced decoys will address deficiencies in Army aircraft protection and the safety of its aircrews against advanced Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) and shoulder launched Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM) systems. This program will evaluate integrated technologies and countermeasure prototype systems in realistic operating test environments. Prototypes will demonstrate component and subsystem maturity prior to integration into major Army aircraft platforms. FY 2021 supports initial developmental/operational testing on XM215 and RF Countermeasures (CM).
