For too long we have relied on flares and chaff to distract missiles, these are fine but missiles are better and more resistant. Notquiteaplace is proud to announce that it has bought several existing systems using other techniques and put a much larger budget behind researching them.
These systems were already pretty much finished ideas before we bought them, we are just combining and refining the projects of several small labs and bringing them foward so that they are useful.
Within one year we beleive the systems will be viable and fitting will begin. We cannot give exact specifications, as it is not finished but we can explain how it works and roughly what its dimensions and weight will be.
Small transmitters will cover the aircraft, scanning for incomings, this technology had a rate of "one false incoming per 1000 flights" something we hope to cut down by a factor of ten at least. It reads around the aircraft and scans for active signals from seperate targeters or the missile itself. It then reads the frequency of the incoming missile. A laser (part of a grid of several) then targets the missile and jams it by "shining" on the sensors at the frequency it scans for.
Passive weapons can be mislead by a grid of lasers, shone in a pattern that will confuse the systems and misguide it.
The system will weigh 50-90KG, which is little considering the limitless use it would provide. The exact cost is as of yet unknown, but comapaired to the aircraft price will not increase price significantly.
A small amount of chaff and flares will be kept as a backup.
OOC: This is RL technology. Officially the system I have explained would be feasible (by combining two RL systems) in the near future, however that is officially as of a while ago. The technology therefore probably does exist to this level and if it doesnt will definately do so in the very near future. It's not far from that anyway.
This technology therefore is available to any cutting edge MT or post modern nation. I cant claim copyright on the idea of several large aerospace companies, so instead, if you are making such a system please research it properly. If you cant be bothered my nation will sell rpoduction rights very cheaply. At about $2.5bn including the design for this system for both fighter and larger aircraft (including commercial).
