AN/AAR-4 7B(V)2

Electro-Optic Missile and Laser Warning System

The AN/AAR-47 B(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 theAN/ALE-39,AN/ALE-40 orAN/ALE47 Countermeasures Dispensing Set. ATK has demonstrated that the AN/AAR-47 B(V)2 can detect hostile fire for ammunition employing tracers with a miss distances less than 100 meters. All A(V)2 Functions plus: Improved MWS performance in all operational environments Enhanced OFP for improved missile warning detection Clutter level indication Smart dispense capability Hostile Fire Indication (HFI) of threats using tracers and RPGs

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.
