Teen solves centuries-old math problem
NASHUA, N.H., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- BAE Systems reports that the U.S. Army has selected the company to participate in development of a new helicopter defense system.
The 21-month demonstration award for the Common Infrared Countermeasure system is worth $38 million.
BAE is using its Boldstroke solution for the project, a low-cost jamming device to defend against missiles, particularly surface-to-air, shoulder-fired devices, and which is compatible with BAE Systems' Common Missile Warning System deployed on many of the Army's helicopters.
"This decision is a validation of our technology and commitment and of our 30 years' experience pioneering and delivering this type of technology and the exacting work behind it all, including threat exploitation, jam code development, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, flight tests and live fire tests," said Bill Staib, director of BAE Systems' Survivability and Targeting Solutions business.
The Boldstroke system uses a modular open system approach and non-proprietary interfaces for interchangeability and technology insertion.
BAE opened last year a special facility for testing and evaluating helicopter and fixed-wing protection systems.
