PAWS-2 tracks threat with infrared

Article Abstract:

Israel's new F-16I fighter aircraft would be equipped with the world's first operational infrared sensor-based missile warning system made by Elisra Electronic Systems. The PAWS-2 warning system is part of Elisra's Advanced Self-Protection Suite, which passively detects incoming missile threats. It uses the same avionics box as the PAWS-1, which is installed in the Apache helicopter, but with six sensors. Each has an FOV of 102 x 102 degrees, providing full spherical coverage.

Article Abstract:

The Belgian Air Force (BAF) is offering low-cost leases on up to 18 Lockheed Martin F-16 A/B fighter aircraft to the new NATO allies in Central Europe.
