NGC Completes Common Infrared Countermeasure PDR
Northrop Grumman has achieved another major milestone in developing equipment to defend helicopters against man-portable air defense systems and other heat-seeking munitions. With the completion of the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) Preliminary Design Review (PDR) July 25, Northrop Grumman presented the U.S. Army with a system design that surpasses the program's weight and electrical power requirements and represents the next generation of aircraft survivability systems. The PDR marked the final design review of the program's technology development phase, providing the Army with the necessary data to move into the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase. Northrop Grumman completed the PDR on schedule based on requirements established at contract award.
