BAE Systems’ ALQ-144A countermeasures set, an omnidirectional IR system, is designed to protect both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft from surface-to-air and air-to-air homing missiles.
The CH148 Cyclone helicopters, based on Sikorsky’s H-92 Superhawk medium-lift aircraft, aid Canadian forces in surface and subsurface surveillance, search and rescue, and drug interdiction. For more information, visit www.na.baesystems.com.
