Abstract (en)

A method of operation of a DIRCM system (2) for protecting a platform (4) against IR-guided missiles (5), wherein said DIRCM system (2) comprises a plurality of DIRCM subsystems (21,22) operable to track and jam IR-guided missiles (5); and wherein the DIRCM subsystems comprise a first DIRCM subsystem (21) and a second DIRCM subsystem (22), that are installed on the platform (4) so that: said first DIRCM subsystem (21) is operable to track and jam IR-guided missiles (5) in a first coverage region; said second DIRCM subsystem (22) is operable to track and jam IR-guided missiles (5) in a second coverage region; and both said first and second DIRCM subsystems (21,22) are operable to track and jam IR-guided missiles (5) in an overlap region, which includes a first handover sub-region adjacent to the first coverage region and a second handover sub-region adjacent to the second coverage region.
