www.thalesgroup.com/land-joint

Passive missile system designed to detect, track and give warning of hostile missilesA breakthrough in the infrared detection technologyInnovative solution based onunique multicolor infrared detector and band subtraction algorithmsLong range detection, short reaction time and low false alarm rateEasy installation and integration on transport aircraft or fighter aircraft

>

MAIN FEATURESPassive missile warning system

• Developed to counter the complete range ofthreats from manpads to Air-to-Air missiles

• The band subtraction algorithms provide the capability to eliminate the background (air,land,sea) and sun reflect while revealing the threatshot spot

• Large dynamics enables long range detection, short reaction time and highly reduced false alarm rate

• Designed to perform with any counter-measureeffectors and systems, decoy dispenser or DIRCM

MISSIONS AND FUNCTIONS• Detects, tracks and gives warning of hostile

missile• MIRAS is a key contributor in the self-protection

system
