Miysis DIRCM

Directed Infrared
Countermeasure System

MANPADS have become increasingly resistant to standard countermeasures, such as decoy flares. The most effective defense from MANPADS is to directly attack them with a high-power, multi-band, laser DIRCM system.

To counter this threat, Leonardo, a global leader in the development, manufacture, and support of airborne laser and electro-optic systems, has developed the Miysis DIRCM System which provides high power, all aspect protection against modern and legacy threats. The Miysis DIRCM System is in full production and is flying operationally.

The Miysis DIRCM System has market-leading size, weight, and power characteristics with no compromise of its proven self-protection jamming capability. The design utilizes the latest open architecture concepts, which allow it to be installed on an aircraft as a standalone DIRCM or integrated as part of a Defensive Aids System.

The system is small enough to be fitted to a lightweight helicopter and has the Energy-on-Target to protect a wide-bodied transport aircraft. No other DIRCM supplier delivers this level of combined, next-generation, capability in a readily-exportable package.
