AN/AAR-57(V) CMWS
The sophistication and proliferation of infrared and radio frequency missiles worldwide is a reality. Defeating these threats, which are often unobserved and can strike in just a few seconds, challenges the effectiveness of the typical passive missile warners.
The AN/AAR-57 common missile warning system, selected by the U.S. government, U.K. Apache, U.K. RMPA, and U.K. Astor programs for having the best performance and affordability, provides missile warning for rotary-wing, transport, and tactical aircraft in all military services. With its extremely low false-alarm rate that exceeds the NATO staff requirement for a missile warning system, and the ability to detect and declare prior to missile burnout, the AN/AAR-57 provides the essential probability of declaration in the hostile airborne environment against surface-to-air threats with growth to air-to-air threats.
The AN/AAR-57’s order-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity gives the needed performance at tactically-significant altitudes. Its ultra-high-detection processing speed and self-contained image stabilization assembly ensures unsurpassed performance on highly-maneuverable fighter aircraft. Commonality across multiple platforms and its supportability characteristics make the AN/AAR-57 the system of choice for both pilots and maintainers worldwide.
