The system is being fitted to transport aircraft and helicopters in service with American and British armed forces and will protect the aircraft from infra red heat-seeking missiles by jamming the seeker... DIRCM is a revolutionary protection system, which is designed to detect the launch of a heat-seeking missile, determine if it is a threat and track its flight, before defeating its seeker head with an emission of infra red energy.

The missile, called Wasp because it would be launched in swarms of 10 or more, will allow an attacking aircraft to withdraw before exposing itself to heavy enemy air defenses. Initially it will be programmed to fly to a target area. A terminal guidance seeker then will take over, identifying the armor and steering the missile to an individual target. 1, record 16, English, - terminal%20guidance%20seeker

C'est un nouveau missile aéroporté qui sera la première arme dotée de la capacité intrinsèque de rechercher et de détruire les matériels blindés ennemis. Ce missile, baptisé wasp (guêpe) car il sera lancé par essaims de 10 ou davantage, permettra à un aéronef attaquant de s'éloigner avant d'être exposé au feu des armes lourdes de défense aérienne ennemies. Au départ, il sera programmé pour se diriger sur la zone d'objectifs et un autodirecteur de guidage terminal prendra ensuite la relève, identifiant le matériel blindé et dirigeant le missile sur une cible donnée. 1, record 16, French, - autodirecteur%20de%20guidage%20terminal

The Motorola AIM-9C [missile] was an early attempt to give Sidewinder all-weather performance by installing a semi-active radar seeker in place of the normal infra-red head and by adopting a new motor, thereby increasing the weapon's maximum range. 1, record 17, English, - semi%2Dactive%20radar%20seeker

Avec le Motorola AIM-9C, l'USN a essayé de conférer au Sidewinder une capacité tout-temps en remplaçant l'autodirecteur IR normal par un autodirecteur Motorola à radar semi-actif, et en l'équipant d'un nouveau moteur pour en augmenter la portée. 2, record 17, French, - autodirecteur%20%C3%A0%20radar%20semi%2Dactif
