DIRCM provides effective protection to military cargo planes, tankers and helicopters from the threat of MANPADS.
The MUSIC system is based on advanced fibre laser technology and counters threats by emitting a laser beam, which changes the trajectory of the enemy missile.
The $15m contract has a performance period of three years.
