Common Infrared Counter Measure
Abstract
This is a continuation of the L20 which has been broken out into subprograms. CIRCM is the subprogram identified as VU8. The CIRCM (next generation ATIRCM) subprogram is an infrared countermeasure system that interfaces with a Missile Warning System (MWS) to provide near spherical coverage of the host platform in order to defeat all IR threats. In an ADM dated July 19, 2010, the Defense Acquisition Executive (DAE) directed that the SIIRCM ORD be the requirement baseline for the CIRCM, in lieu of an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). The DAE directed that CIRCM provide the sole acquisition of future laser based infrared countermeasure systems for all rotary-wing, tilt-rotor, and small fixed wing aircraft across the Department of Defense. The CIRCM subprogram is projected to reach Milestone A in Fiscal Year 2011. The A-kit for CIRCM includes mounting hardware, wiring harnesses, cables, and other components necessary to install and interface the mission kit on host aircraft. The A-kit ensures the mission kit is functionally and physically operational with a specific host aircraft type. Justification RDT&E (CIRCM) Fiscal Year 2012 Base RDT&E dollars in the amount of $67,177 million continues the CIRCM Technology Development phase.
