Aircraft Survivability Equipment

Distributed Aperture IR Counter Measures (DAIRCM)
DAIRCM is an aircraft survivability system approach that utilizes a single sensor for both 2-color 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 capability. Leonardo DRS is providing the sensor as a sub-contractor to BAE for the U.S. Army’s Limited Interim Missile Warning System (LIMWS) which provides 360 threat detection.

High Definition Long-Wave IR (HD LWIR) Sensor
The HD LWIR camera is a ruggedized designed sensor optimized to provide aircrews with situational awareness in a variety of environments.
