Elbit Systems has been cooperating with Airbus on equipping aircraft with DIRCM of additional countries.
Airbus Defence and Space has selected Elbit Systems to provide J-MUSIC DIRCM (Direct Infrared Countermeasures) including the Infra-Red-based Passive Airborne Warning Systems (PAWS IR), for Airbus A330-200 MRTT aircraft of additional European Air Force.
Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW, said: “We are looking forward to cooperating with Airbus in additional markets as Air Forces have been placing a growing importance on stepping up platform protection”.
Elbit System’s DIRCM systems integrate the latest laser technology, high frame-rate thermal cameras, and a compact, dynamic high-speed sealed-mirror turret, delivering high-performance defense against ground-to-air IR missiles. Elbit Systems has been cooperating with Airbus on equipping aircraft of additional countries with DIRCM and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, including NATO’s Multinational Multirole Fleet, German Air Force’s aircraft, and aircraft of the UAE Air Force, and others.
