Description: Initiated development of advanced component technologies for the Tactical Aircraft Directed Infrared Countermeasures (TADIRCM) Early Operational Analysis (EOA) pod effort. These include: (a) high power, multi-band mid-wave infrared (MWIR) lasers with improved beam quality, beam stability, efficiency and output power that can operate at the elevated temperatures and high-G/high vibration environment of a tactical jet pod installation; (b) MWIR transmitting fiber optics to improve coupling of the multi-band laser to the jam head beam director; (c) low profile, light weight, shared-axis fine trackers and beam directors with reduced pointing jitter and advanced auto-bore-sight capability that are suitable for high-G/high vibration operation; and (d) advanced missile warning receivers with low-cost fully athermalized and achromatic optics and advanced processing algorithms for rapidly geo-locating surface-to-air missile launch sites.
