Almost all US aircraft losses since Vietnam have been to MANPADS(Man Portable Air Defense System). MANPADS are a principal weapon of terrorists. MANPADS are cheap, lethal, available and can obstruct US air superiority. Most military aircraft have inadequate or no Missile Warning Systems. An open-air, closed loop Test and evaluate (T&E) capability to evaluate infrared (IR) warning & countermeasures, quantify end-game effectiveness, and evaluate installed, integrated systems in military aircraft is an urgent need. T&E is conducted incrementally; installed systems are far more complex and interact with and/or depend upon many other avionic systems. The Infrared Countermeasures Assessment System (ICAS) was developed to meet his need. T&E of installed IR warning and CM equipment requires an End-to- End approach and will dramatically improve with the availability of ICAS capabilities. Evolutionary expansion of ICAS will produce a large range area in which developers and users can fly without significant constraints, conducting T&E, tactics assessment, mission rehearsal and unit training. As IR threat technology introduces multi- spectral, imaging seekers with powerful processing, ICAS will require enhancements but the fundamental facility concept can evolve to respond to any plausible future threat.
