Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) is a technology that protects aircraft from "infrared-homing missiles. It uses laser energy to confuse the missile's receiving sensor, making it unable to home in on the targeted aircraft. This guide will cover the basics of DIRCM and how it can be used to protect your plane.
A Directional Infrared Counter Measure (DIRCM) is a technology that protects an aircraft from infrared-homing missiles. It uses laser energy to confuse the missile's receiving sensor, making it unable to accurately home in on the targeted aircraft. To work, the system must recognize and track incoming threats, focus the laser on that threat, and deceive it enough to cause the missile to miss its target.
DIRCM works by recognizing potential threats and directing the laser onto that threat. Its sensors detect heat signals from the missile and then send an infrared signal to the missile using a laser beam. This signal is of a higher intensity than the original one, allowing it to confuse the missile's guidance system and cause it to miss its target. The process usually follows three steps: recognition of the incoming threat, the pointing of the laser at that threat, and finally, sending off that high-intensity infrared signal.
A Directional Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) system typically consists of three main components. The first is an Electro-Optical Sensor (EOS), which detects incoming threats and locates them. Then, it sends the data to the Command and Control Unit (CCU). The CCU receives this data and uses it to determine the threat's direction, range, and intensity. Finally, the Pointing System directs a laser beam at the target to send off that high-intensity infrared signal that confuses the incoming missile's guidance systems. Together, these three components make up a complete DIRCM system.
Directional Infrared Counter Measures are extremely effective for protecting aircraft from infrared-homing missiles. When deployed and functioning correctly, the laser beam emitted by a DIRCM system will confuse the missile's guidance systems and cause it to veer off its intended course. This gives military personnel and pilots enough time to take evasive action or call in assistance to neutralize the threat. As such, DIRCM is an invaluable asset in protecting hospitals, airports, and other civilian installations that may be targets of attack.
Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) should be used when a threat from an infrared-guided missile is identified. This can occur during combat missions or if your aircraft comes into the vicinity of an enemy installation with known missile deployments. DIRCM systems can also provide 24/7 protection for airbases and other sensitive locations. When strategically deployed, they offer a powerful defense against enemy missiles throughout the system's detection range.
