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. The newer versions of this system produced by Northrop Grumman use diode-based pump systems and are known by the name GUARDIAN ...
The CIRCM system is intended to be an improved, lighter-weight version of the ATIRCM system. CIRCM lowers the weight of the system and therefore brings with it the opportunity to deploy this kind of laser counter-measure across a wider portion of the fleet. Northrop Grumman has delivered over 250 CIRCM systems to the U.S. Army by March 2023.
