The Israeli company Bird Aerosystems, a provider of technologies and protection solutions for airborne, maritime and land fleets of governments and agencies, announced today (Tuesday) that in an unknown country it demonstrated live firing of the SPREOS DIRCM aircraft defense system against various mobile GNA systems. Because the system defeats 100% of the missiles fired at the plane.
As part of a demonstration conducted at the request of a customer, the company set up an entire test facility that included a command and control room, a firing position and a simulated aircraft on which Byrd's AMPS-MD system was installed including the SPREOS DIRCM system.
During the demonstration, shots were fired at the simulated aircraft from portable air defense systems (MAPADS) including the most advanced available today. According to the company, the detection sensors of the AMPS system detected the missiles and alerted the mission computer that operated the SPREOS DIRCM system.
The SPREOS DIRCM system, designed to deal with short-range shooting scenarios, was activated after an alarm signal was issued that led it to face the threat and activate its semi-active Doppler radar to investigate and confirm the incoming threat.
At the same time, the Doppler radar also provided unique information about the incoming threat, such as its radar cross section, its distance and speed, which allowed a real-time assessment of the nature of the threat and an automatic calculation of "time to hit", an essential indication used by the AMPS system to ensure protection Optimally adapted to defeat any specific threat fired at the aircraft.
