Directed IR Countermeasures (DIRCM) Installed

Anti-Missile Protection for Aircrafts

Elbit Systems’ Directed IR Countermeasures (DIRCM) solutions are designed to protect aircraft against heat-seeking ground-to-air missiles.

These systems integrate advanced fiber laser technology together with a high frame rate thermal camera and a small, highly dynamic mirror turret.

This cutting-edge combination delivers effective, reliable and affordable protection, under all operational conditions, and to all types of aircraft.

The systems utilize an open architecture design and can be seamlessly integrated on any type of aircraft. Elbit Systems’ DIRCM solutions have been selected by the Israeli government to protect commercial Israeli airliners, by the Italian Air Force to protect the C27J, C130J and AW101 helicopter platforms and by the Brazilian Air Force to protect the KC-390 aircraft.

In addition, a number of other countries have chosen the DIRCM solutions to protect a large variety of military, VIP and commercial aircraft.
