据英国航空航天公司透露,它正在研制一种红外干扰机,以对付肩射导弹(特别是苏联的 SA—7红外寻的型导弹)对直升飞机的威胁。这种干扰机采用一个能保护直升飞机机身的红外灯,向偏离飞机的一切方向辐射红外能量。普通的曳光弹假目标要求有警戒功能,英国航空航天公司宣称这种新的干扰机不需要对袭来的导弹进行警戒。 According to the British aerospace company, it is developing an infrared jammer to deal with the threat posed by shoulder-fired missiles, especially the Soviet SA-7 infrared-seeking missiles, to helicopters. The jammer uses an infrared light that protects the helicopter’s fuselage, radiating infrared energy in all directions off the aircraft. Common tracer bombs require warnings, and British Aerospace claims the new jammer does not require any warning of the incoming missiles.
