ESL Defence Limited Joins the Infrared Bench for Seeker Characterisation (IBOSEC) Program
HAMBLE, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ESL, a strategic business of AAI Test & Training, an operating unit of Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today that it has been selected by Elettronica S.p.A. (ELT) to participate in the IBOSEC program.
“ESL’s extensive knowledge base in this area makes our team ideally suited to support ELT in delivering this advanced technology.”
The Aeronautica Militare Italiana (AMI), or Italian Air Force, has contracted with ELT for a characterisation system for passive infrared sensors, also known as seekers. The IBOSEC system will be installed at the Experimental Flight Centre – Armament Department of AMI. The system will be used to optimise the performance of both flare countermeasures and directional infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) through the validation of flare signatures and jamming codes, enhancing aircraft survivability against infrared-guided threats.
Under the IBOSEC program, ELT will collaborate closely with ESL, which specialises in the design and production of electronic warfare test systems that provide high-fidelity threat simulation in the infrared and ultraviolet domains.
“The IBOSEC system will provide critical capabilities to the AMI, helping to save both lives and aircraft,” says Managing Director Bob Fox of ESL. “ESL’s extensive knowledge base in this area makes our team ideally suited to support ELT in delivering this advanced technology.”
