AN/ALQ-212 ATIRCM/CMWS

Modern, highly lethal infrared-seeking missiles can attack from any direction during any phase of flight. The AN/ALQ-212(V) directable IRCM suite provides comprehensive protection against a multi-tier array of such threats. The system provides protection in all IR threatbands, and has been proven in live-fire tests, defeating 10 of 10 IRSAMs.

The AN/ALQ-212(V) advanced threat infrared countermeasures/common missile warning system (ATIRCM/CMWS) suite provides passive warning of missile approach using the AN/AAR-57 tri-service CMWS, which detects the missile, rejects any false alarms, and cues the onboard infrared jamming system’s jam head to the missile’s location. When the jam head finds the missile with its IR tracking system, it emits a high-energy beam of infrared energy to defeat the missile’s IR seeker. The AN/ALQ-212(V) incorporates one or more IR jam heads to counter multiple missile attacks.

AN/ALQ-212(V) features:

• Passive missile warning sensors
• Precise angle-of-arrival information
• IR tracker mounted on the jam head gimbal
• Laser and arc lamp jamming sources
• Modular architecture for easy growth path
