BAE and Leonardo have teamed up to offer threat detection for Army aircraft and helicopters.
Under a memorandum of understanding, the two companies “will collaborate to develop an advanced infrared-based threat warning system to meet current and evolving operational requirements for Army aircraft survivability,” said a BAE news release.
“This new collaboration will advance into new directions the threat warning techniques and capabilities leveraged from BAE Systems’ Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) — the standard Army missile warning system currently on all the service’s fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft — and Leonardo DRS’ mature, high-performing infrared sensors specifically designed for the rotary-wing environment,” BAE said.
