AN/AAR-4 7A(V)2

Electro-Optic Missile and Laser Warning System

The AN/AAR-47 A(V)2 Missile Warning System (MWS) is an electronic warfare system designed to protect low/slow flying aircraft against surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles. The MWS will detect a missile fired at the aircraft or a laser pointed at the aircraft. Upon detection of the threat, the MWS will automatically provide an audio and visual sector warning to the pilot. At the appropriate time, the MWS will automatically initiate countermeasures by sending a command signal to the AN/ALE-39,AN/ ALE-40 or AN/ ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispensing Set. The Optical Sensor Convert upgrade capabilities: Adds Adjunct UV Detector for Improved Dynamic Blanking Laser Warning Detection Increases detection sensitivity Extends high temperature operating limits to +85C Extends operational life to 15 years

The AN/AAR-47A(V)2 MWS is relatively small and lightweight:

Computer Processor (CP) is approx. 8x8x10 inches and weighs approx.16.25 lbs. Control Indicator (CI) is approx. 2x5x6 inches and weighs approx. 2 lbs. Optical Sensor Converters (OSC) are approx. 5x8 inches and weighs approx. 3.5 lbs each.

The system runs on 28 volts DC supplied from the aircraft.

Missile Warning Algorithm Discriminants

Temporal - source signal level as a function of time (Intensity versus Time) Spectral Bandpass - source signal level within restricted bandpass most sensitive to threats and insensitive to false alarms. Algorithms looking for an event and confirmation.
