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 upgrades the Infra-Red Receiver (IRR) and processor to provide full Capabilities Development Document (CDD) 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.
