Large Aircraft, Low-Cost, Lightweight, Laser Turret Assembly Spiral (LAIRCM) (Air Force)

Abstract

Test suitability of the AIM-9 based Quiet Eyes turret coupled with a commercial off-the-shelf Quantum Cascading Laser (QCL) for use in large aircraft systems and to field as a compatible "suitable substitute" for the existing LAIRCM turret. The primary outputs are the validation of the laser turret assembly to protect large aircraft as a form/fit/function-suitable substitute for the existing large aircraft infra-red countermeasure turret assembly.
