Details :

The LAIRCM (large aircraft infrared counter-measures) has been developed to protect large military aircraft from IR guided man-portable surface-to-air missiles (SAM).

LAIRCM uses missile warning system to detect and incoming missile, then the protection system directs a pointer-tracker to the missile’s seeker jamming it with a infrared laser energy beam.

It is a derivative of the proven AN/AAQ-24 Nemesis Directional IR Countermeasure (DIRCM) system.

The system is a fully autonomous system not requiring inputs coming from the aircraft crew. LAIRCM is being offered to the commercial aviation segment as a protection mechanism against any potential terrorist attack using man-portable, shoulder-launced surface-to-air missiles.

To date, the system has been selected for integration onto the U.S. Air Force (USAF) C-5B Galaxy, C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft; the MC-130H Talon special operations aircraft; and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) A330 tanker and 737 AEW&C. As of July 2005, the USAF had contracts on order for integration of LAIRCM high-intensity modulated laser beam countermeasures on 56 C-17s through 2007.
