Under this order, Northrop Grumman will provide LAIRCM upgrades, modifications, and installations on a wide range of U.S. fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
Northrop Grumman Corporation has received an additional order from the U.S. Air Force for its Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (LAIRCM) systems, as part of an existing indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract. The LAIRCM system provides infrared threat protection to aircrews by detecting, tracking, and jamming incoming infrared threats. The system automatically counters advanced infrared missile systems by directing a high-intensity laser beam into the missile seeker.
Under this order, Northrop Grumman will provide LAIRCM upgrades, modifications, and installations on a wide range of U.S. fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Additionally, the contract covers platforms operated by international customers around the globe.
Northrop Grumman has been providing infrared threat protection to the U.S. Air Force for over two decades. With its modular, scalable architecture, LAIRCM can adapt to numerous airframes and add technologies that enhance protection capabilities. This proven approach has enabled Northrop Grumman to provide the U.S. Air Force and thousands of aircrews with unmatched protection and aircraft survivability equipment that helps them stay safe against emerging threats.
