美国空军特种作战司令部(AFSOC)正为其下一代定向红外对抗系统今年夏季的试验做准备,它已制定一项近期计划,改进C—130飞机上现有的导弹告警系统.根据与辛辛那提电子红外系统分部签订的价值1040万美元的合同,该公司将为AFSOC的大约170部AAR—44导弹逼近告警器提供升级改进的散件.其中100多部安装在C—130飞机的特种作战改型上,比如AC—130“幽灵”武装运输机、MC—130“战斗魔爪”和EC—130E“突击队员独奏”心理战飞机.为完成系统改进改装(SIM),公司于1994年获得一份研制合同,合同要求通过改进软件和信号处理来降低扫描红外系统的虚警率.系统被命名为AAR—44A,原型系统已造好并已顺利通过飞行试验,这也是研制计划的一部分.根据最近签订的生产合同,在AFSOC服役的全部AAR—44将以配套件的形式接受SIM,进行传感器软件和处理器的改进.公司一位消息灵通人士说,未对传感器硬件进行任何改进.交付工作将于18个月 The United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) is preparing this summer’s test for its next-generation guided infrared countermeasures system and has a near-term plan to improve the existing missile warning system on the C-130 aircraft. According to the Cincinnati Electronics Infrared Systems Division awarded a $ 10.4 million contract to provide upgrades to some 170 AFS-40 AAR-44 missile approach annunciators, including more than 100 special operations units installed on C-130 aircraft Such as the AC-130 Ghost armed transport aircraft, the MC-130 Fighting Talon and the EC-130E “Commando Solo” psychological warfare aircraft. In 1994, the company acquired a research and development Contract, Contract Requires Reduced False Alarm Rate for Scanning Infrared Systems by Improving Software and Signal Processing The system was named AAR-44A and the prototype system was built and passed the flight test as part of a development plan that has been recently signed , The AAR-44, which will be in service with AFSOC, will accept the SIM as a kit for sensor software and processor improvements. A company source close by said , Did not make any improvements to the sensor hardware. Deliveries will be 18 months
