Rocket Propelled Grenades Defeated In Live On-The-Move Tests
Santa Clara CA (SPX) Oct 05, 2005 BAE Systems has successfully completed the first on-the-move test of its Close-In Countermeasure (CICM) active protection system against incoming Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) at a government test range. "These on-the-move successes, from a CICM system mounted on a moving Bradley Combat Systems vehicle, demonstrates the company's expertise in this critical survivability technology by integrating a complete active protection system in two years. CICM has previously executed successful static firings against various threats," said Carl Sullinger, CICM program manager for BAE Systems. "This was a great team effort by the BAE Systems personnel and the U.S. Army test and safety personnel." CICM is a complete active protection system designed to defeat incoming threats. CICM is modular, lightweight, low-cost and is designed to be adaptable to a wide range of ground, sea and air platforms. The CICM system is comprised of passive threat launch detection and active radar tracking subsystems, an advanced fire control processor, a simple user interface, and an extremely high speed gimbaled launcher that fires a multigun cluster munition. BAE Systems developed CICM in only two years using internal research and development funds to respond to near-term operational needs. The CICM team includes BAE Systems units in Santa Clara, Calif. and Nashua, N.H., along with Curtiss-Wright Controls and Pacific Scientific.
