IR Sensors for Missile Approach Warning Systems

Protecting aircraft against IR guided missiles depends both on reliable detection and warning sensors, as well as effective electronic countermeasures (ECM). Elbit Systems’ warning and tracking sensors include cutting-edge architecture that delivers longer protection ranges and improved performance, supporting mission success and a safe return of the aircraft and crew.

The sensors can be integrated in a range of EW self-protection suites and installed on a wide variety of aircraft. The sensors offer both single and dual color sensors, as well as both warning and tracking sensors (as part of DIRCM systems). Elbit Systems’ sensors are off-the-shelf products and fully operational with customers worldwide
