A missile warning system on a copter.. must be to warn you so YOU CAN JUMP OUT... or pray.. or kiss your whatever goodbye..

I was wondering that, too. On a heavy lift copter all it would do is announce that you are about to be hit by a missile. Maybe it is so you can have time to say a final prayer.

AN/ALE 47’s Chaff and Flares counter measures will provide a defense against most ......

I have always wondered about the effectiveness of flares. Personally, I would design an infrared detector that would ignore the white hot of the flare and focus in on the much cooler exhaust of the jet engine.

Flares and other countermeasures are possible to use IF you have warning.

Thats a lot of money for a kiss yer shorts goodbye system... From the article:
"The LAIRCM system, now installed or scheduled for installation in more than 500 military aircraft, automatically detects a missile launch, determines if it is a threat, and if so activates a high-intensity, laser-based countermeasure system to track and defeat the missile."

Then what good are flares? Or have we developed flares that burn at the same temp as a jet engine exhaust?
