Direct Infrared Countermeasures When Size and Weight Matters Small Size, Low Profile Low Weight Low EMI Conduction Cooling The Customer's Challenge The survival of aircraft and crew can depend on the reliability of on-board countermeasure systems. The system detects and tracks an incoming weapon and disables that weapon’s sensors using a laser beam. The size and weight of the countermeasures system takes up valuable aircraft payload. A customer’s power supply for a countermeasure system’s optical circuitry also had demanding thermal constraints because of the small space available. In addition, the system needed to meet stringent EMI specifications. The Solution The solution comprised three separate arr
