This paper discusses some of the benefits that have been achieved from the application of advanced EO technology to the Miysis DIRCM System, and also considers some of the system trades a designer may have to undertake. The extensive test and evaluation that was undertaken at every stage of the programme, including simulation, laboratory testing, platform and target dynamic testing in a System Integration Laboratory (SIL), flight trial, missile live-fire, environmental testing and reliability testing, all of which was required in order to ensure that the system provides the requisite levels of protection against the latest, sophisticated all-aspect IR MANPADS is also covered. In particular, recent developments and system level testing will also be discussed in some detail. |
