cockpit display unit
The Advanced Countermeasures Dispensing System is a computer-controlled airborne self-defense system with enhanced capabilities for chaff, flare, and advanced decoy dispensing.
ACDS functions as a stand-alone system, with the crew selecting and initiating pre-stored dispense programs, or as an integrated part of an electronic warfare suite, executing the optimum dispensing program upon receiving the EW controller and/or aircraft avionics command via digital data links.
The semi-automatic mode requires operator consent for program execution, whereas automatic mode immediately executes the selected optimum dispensing program.
The ACDS family includes a wide range of smart dispensers of these types: internal, dual, and scab-on.
The mini control and display unit, compatible with night vision goggles, provides the visual display of the threat direction detected by EW sensors and generates audio warning. The system provides interface with EW warning systems, aircraft avionics and controls, and smart dispensers of any type. The Threat Matrix Generator software allows the user to modify dispensing programs according to operational needs. A notebook-based, user-friendly memory loader and verifier allow fast and easy downloading of the threat matrix to the ACDS during O-level maintenance. The Countermeasures Dispenser Tester (O-level ground test equipment) provides a wide range of testing capabilities, including stray-voltage testing.
The ACDS is a tailored, cost-effective solution.
