Detecting and Defeating to Improve Aircraft Survivability
Advanced Sensors
Distributed Aperture Infrared Counter Measures (DAIRCM)
DAIRCM is an aircraft survivability system approach that utilizes a single sensor for both 2-color Infrared (IR) missile warning and a wide angle field of view gimbal for threat countermeasures. Additional capabilities of the system include Hostile Fire Indication (HFI), laser warning, and future application for Degraded Visual Environment. The DAIRCM system distributed sensors provide a 360-degree aircraft self-protection capability with a future situational awareness application.
Dual Mode Warning Sensor (DMWS)
The 2 Color Advanced Warning System (2C-AWS) sensor packages the Leonardo DRS 2 Color IR detector in the US Army’s AN/AAR-57 form factor. The sensor provides Missile Warning and hostile fire indication capabilities.
High Definition Long-Wave Infrared (HD LWIR) Sensor
The HD LWIR camera is a ruggedized sensor optimized to provide aircrews with situational awareness in a variety of environments.
Small-UAS Tactical Agile Gimbals (STAG)
The STAG family is a line of best-in-class stabilized systems providing a broad range of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Targeting (ISR&T) capabilities across several classes of payload families: STAG4, STAG5, and STAG8. The STAG Families support STANAG compliant laser designation in small UAS class gimbal payload. The open architecture and common platform base deliver the same precision pointing and controls across a broad range of mission optimized payloads.
Laser Technology for Aircraft Protection
Quantum Cascade Lasers
The defense and security market is focused on protecting those who protect us. Its specialized applications include directed infrared countermeasures, explosives detection, combat identification, pre-shot detection, precision targeting/marking, and free-space communications.
Leonardo DRS Daylight Solutions has leveraged its core technologies into modular, open system product architectures that provide rapid fielding of new capabilities in defense technology to stay ahead of the evolving threats to our nation.
