Miysis on Target in UK DIRCM Trials
Leonardo and Thales UK have joined forces to demonstrate a UK-soveriegn DIRCM capability based on the Miysis jammer and Elix-IR warning system

Leonardo’s Miysis DIRCM (directed infrared countermeasure) system successfully defeated a variety of MANPADS (man-portable air defense system) missile threats in a live-fire SALT (surface-to-air launch trial) campaign carried out in May/June at Vidsel in Sweden. During the trials the system acquired, tracked, and defeated targets detected by the Thales UK Elix-IR threat warning system. Both “dry” and “wet” trials were undertaken, the first denoting tracking-only tests, while the “wet” trials also employed laser jamming.
