For more than 15 years, CMWS has delivered unmatched,
combat-proven aircraft survivability to U.S. and allied forces by
providing superior threat detection and enhanced situational
awareness. CMWS is designed to detect a wide range of
infrared-guided missiles and hostile fire threats, providing
warnings to pilots and cueing laser-based and expendable
countermeasures. The system’s rapid response capabilities improve
survivability and reduce the cognitive load on pilots – enabling
them to focus on their missions.
“Our customers that fly low and slow in dangerous situations
face unobserved threats that can strike without warning in
seconds,” said Cheryl Paradis, director of Optical Electronic
Warfare Systems at BAE Systems. “We level the playing field for
pilots and crews with proven threat detection and countermeasures
that quickly and automatically engage and defeat threats and help
warfighters return home safely.”
CMWS is designed to be cost-effective, easy to install, and
extremely reliable. The versatile system is designed for a wide
variety of aircraft, and its line-replaceable units and
customizable algorithms allow it to adapt to emerging threats. The
third-generation system combines hostile fire indication and data
recording with its core missile warning capabilities in a single
unit – providing protection from more diverse threats and enabling
detailed post-mission analysis.
BAE Systems has more than 40 years of aircraft survivability
experience. The company has a strong legacy in threat detection,
integrated processing, and advanced countermeasures that protect
rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft from advanced threats. CMWS has
more than four million combat hours and has saved hundreds of
lives. More than 3,000 units have been delivered and installed on
40+ platforms in more than 17 countries around the world.
CMWS is an integral system in BAE Systems’ advanced optical
electronic warfare technology portfolio, which also includes the
company’s innovative Smart D2 next-generation countermeasure
dispenser, Advanced Threat Infrared Countermeasures (ATIRCM)
system, and its next-generation missile warning technology.
