Directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) system and method

Invented by: Donald R. Fetterly
Tucson, AZ

Originally Assigned to: Raytheon Company
Waltham, MA
[Now assigned to . . .]

Issued:2008-05-27
Filed:2005-10-04
Application No:11242967
Examined by:Gregory; Bernarr E.

An agile, high-power, reliable DIRCM system that is easily extended to address sophisticated UV or UV-visible capable multi-band threats includes a missile warner having missile warning receivers (MWRs), one or two-color suitably in the mid-IR range, that detect likely missile launch and pass the threat coordinates to a pointer-tracker having a Roll/Nod gimbal on which the IR laser transmitter is mounted. The pointer-tracker slews the gimbal to initiate tracking based on the threat coordinates and then uses its detector to continue to track and verify the threat. If the threat is verified, the pointer-tracker engages the laser to fire and jam the missile's IR seeker. By slewing the gimbal based on unverified threat coordinates to initiate tracking the system is highly agile and can respond to short and near simultaneous MANPADS shots.
