D2 TEAM-Sim has produced a short video for ITT and their new Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM) system. ITT Defense in Clifton, teamed with Lockheed Martin, is among the companies developing a laser-based electronic warfare system designed to throw missiles off course. The Army wants electronic warfare systems that are reliable and inexpensive enough to be outfitted on 5,000 helicopters. Each system is expected to cost about $500,000 or less — about half the cost of electronic warfare units deployed today. A new-generation of missiles can avoid traditional countermeasures such as hot flares that helicopters release as decoys to distract them. They can detect a flare, and ignorte them.The video animation produced by D2 TEAM-Sim illustrates how this new missle defense system works.
