Terma to develop Countermeasures Signal Processor for EADS Missile Warner System

MISSILE NEWS

The AN/AAR-60(V)2 MILDS F is based on the MILDS sensor proven in service aboard Tiger, NH90, CH-47 and C-130 aircraft. The MILDS F is optimized for use on fighter aircraft against shoulder-fired infrared-guided missiles which cannot by detected by current warning systems. It can be installed either into pylons or into the fuselage of a fighter aircraft.

Electronic Warfare

The AAR-60(V)2 is a fighter version of the MILDS AAR-60 system which is operational on several transport and helicopter platforms. The launch customer for the AAR-60(V)2 is the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) who signed contracts with EADS for delivery of the AAR-60(V)2 and with Terma for integration of the system on the Danish F-16s.

The CSP is the controller of the AAR-60(V)2 system, and it is being installed in Terma modified Wing Weapon Pylons (PIDS+ and ECIPS+) where the CSP is interfacing to Terma Electronic Warfare Management System in the F-16 cockpit. This mission customized installation will be the first fully integrated, operational MWS on the F-16 where it is a major improvement of the survivability of the aircraft.

The close cooperation on the Danish program between EADS and Terma has developed into joint marketing of the AAR-60(V)2 installation for other customers.
