Diehl and Elbit Systems Continue Successful Cooperation
During the recently concluded ILA Berlin International Air Show, Diehl Defence and Elbit Systems signed a cooperation agreement on the equipment of German Armed Forces aircraft with a protection system.
The agreement is the continuation of the successful cooperation on the Directed Infrared Counter Measure System (DIRCM) that has existed since 2014. In this context, Diehl Defence combines three SJ-MUSICTM (Multi-Spectral Infrared Countermeasure) devices of the Israeli manufacturer to constitute one DIRCM system securing 360-degree protection of the aircraft. DIRCM is currently being installed in the A400M and certified.
The DIRCM system serves the protection of large military and civilian aircraft against attacks from infrared-guided missiles. The protection system is designed in such a way that it is connected with the guided missile warning system and the Defensive Aid System via interfaces.
It can be operated in all flight phases without endangering urban or forested areas. Diehl Defence also provides Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) for the DIRCM system, as well as customer services in the field of repair, service and maintenance.
The companies also intend to cooperate on the smaller version of DIRCM (MDS), which is suitable for helicopters and smaller aircraft.
