The systems were delivered under an engineering and
manufacturing development contract awarded in 2015 to produce the
next generation of aircraft survivability equipment to defend
against man-portable air-defense systems and other heat-seeking
munitions. Prior to delivery, the system went through rigorous
software qualification testing that demonstrated key performance
features of the hardware and extensive acceptance testing that
validated the compliance of the system.
“This delivery continues the momentum in Northrop Grumman’s
50-year history of providing our customers with highly reliable,
advanced infrared countermeasure systems,” said Carl Smith, vice
president, mission solutions, land and avionics C4ISR division,
Northrop Grumman. “We, along with our partners Daylight Solutions
and Leonardo, remain committed to the Army’s schedule and to
getting this technology into the hands of our warfighters as
quickly as possible.”
The CIRCM system completes Northrop Grumman’s full suite of
electronic warfare protection systems, to include advanced missile
warning, hostile fire indication, radar warning, radio frequency
jamming, laser warning, IRCM jamming capabilities, and cockpit
digitization. The modular open systems architecture approach to
this family of systems provides the ability to seamlessly integrate
these technologies together, as well as quickly upgrade the system
to stay ahead of the evolving threat.
