Provides protection to VIP and civil aircraft against MANPADS attacks. AMPS-MV has been approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and German aviation authority LBA (Luftfahrt Bundesamt) for installation on business jet-sized aircraft.
AMPS-MV operates in a fully autonomous mode and provides complete protection with minimal pilot intervention.
The typical engagement scenario, as described above, is initiated by the MILDS® AN/AAR-60 (UV) sensors that automatically detect the missile launch and sends the indication/alarm to the EW Suite Controller (MCDU). The MCDU activates the Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS) that slews to the direction of the incoming threat and verifies the validity of the threat.
Only upon validation of the threat by both MILDS and MACS sensors will the MCDU confirm the threat, initiate the optimized countermeasure dispensing program, and provide visual and audio alerts to the aircraft crew.
