Research PREVIEW for
The Global Airborne IR Countermeasures Market
Threats to Low-Flying Aircrafts Drive the
Need for Airborne Infrared
Countermeasure Systems
Key Highlights
• Laser-based infrared countermeasures (IRCM) are the new hot defense
mechanisms countries want on their military aircraft.
• The US is setting the standard for IRCM capabilities as their aircrafts have
been battle tested.
• The market, similar to other military markets is primarily driven by conflict. As
skirmishes continue to pop up around the world, military leaders will seek
advanced technology in order to gain an edge over their adversaries.
• Automation is the key element to any effective countermeasure. Systems
able to detect and deploy defenses automatically lessens the workload on
operators.

Restraints 1–2 Years 3–4 Years 5th Year
Laser-based systems are expensive and require
unique integration for different platforms. H H M
Defense budgets are tight, causing some
countries to prioritize and delay the purchase of
equipment.
H M M
A lack of competitors limit choice and drive up
costs for solutions that must be tailored to a new
platform.

Executive Summary—CEO’s Perspective
2 A trend toward miniaturization is beginning to
gain traction. Requirements are evolving
toward smaller systems with more capability.
3 IRCM investments in medium to heavy lift
helicopters are worthy of substantial added
investments for their defense.
4 As laser technology becomes more
affordable, a transition from flare-based
systems will create opportunities.
5 A change to the norm, air refueling tanker
aircrafts are being fitted with IRCM systems.
1 Countries are partnering to share both
technology research as well as cost of
systems development.
