Northrop Grumman’s countermeasures system clocks record operation

July 01-15, 2011

Northrop Grumman Corporation announced that its directional infrared countermeasures system (DIRCM), currently deployed with US and allied forces, has achieved more than one million operational hours in service.

“DIRCM continues to be the standard for military aircraft protection, a system that is most called upon to assure mission success and the safe return of our troops, as indicated by the one million operational hours milestone,” said Jeff Palombo, Sector Vice President and General Manager of Northrop Grumman’s Land and Self Protection Systems Division.

“Of the more than one million hours accumulated to date, the majority have been logged under deployed and combat conditions, with an operational availability of over 99 per cent for the past 13 consecutive years – performance unequalled in industry,” Palombo added.
