The Department of the Navy Large Aircraft Countermeasures (DoN LAIRCM) by Northrop Grumman provides infrared threat protection for U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E, CH-46E and CH-53D platforms. [ 4 ] BAE Systems' AN/ALQ-212 advanced threat infrared countermeasures ( ATIRCM ) – part of a directable infrared countermeasures suite – is fielded on U.S ...
The AN/AAQ-24 system is a directional infrared countermeasure (DIRCM) system. It consists of a missile warning system , an integration unit, a processor, and laser turrets (Small Laser Transmitter Assembly, SLTA). Early versions of this system used an arc lamp to generate the jammer signal.
Directional IRCM, or DIRCM, allows for a countermeasures laser to be targeted directly at an incoming IR threat.This makes possible a more powerful and effective defense than previous, non-directional infrared countermeasures, as the threat is directly addressed rather than the system essentially painting an area with IR disruption, which results in a weaker signal in any given direction.
Northrop Grumman's (NOC) business unit, Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., wins a $31.2-million deal for the delivery of the large aircraft infrared countermeasures infrared missile warning sensor.
On Thursday, Northrop Grumman announced that it has delivered to the U.S. Army its first (of eight planned) Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM ) missile defense system -- two months ahead of ...

A flare or decoy flare is an aerial infrared countermeasure used by an aircraft to counter an infrared homing ("heat-seeking") surface-to-air missile or air-to-air missile. Flares are commonly composed of a pyrotechnic composition based on magnesium or another hot-burning metal, with burning temperature equal to or hotter than engine exhaust.
