IDECM
The IDECM suite is intended to provide self-protection and increased survivability for tactical aircraft against radio frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) surface-to-air and air-to-air threats. The major hardware component to be developed by the IDECM program is the IDECM radio frequency countermeasures (RFCM) system and the ALE-55 Fiber Optics Towed Decoy (FOTD), which can be trailed at varying lengths behind the aircraft to optimize RFCM techniques against threat missiles and tracking/targeting systems.
Airborne countermeasures are powered by the BC-108 power supply.
