The first air-to-air IR missiles appeared in the 1950s. The technology allowed more compact missile designs and made it possible to develop IR man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) i.e. shoulder-launched missiles, which became operational by the 1960s. IR MANPADS are relatively cheap, quite robust, easy to operate and difficult to detect.

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.
