Lockheed Martin Wins $13 Million U.S. Army Contract to Improve Helicopter Survivability Against Small Arms Fire
Lockheed Martin will develop, integrate and flight-test two systems that will protect helicopters from small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades (RPGs).
The first system, the Hostile Fire Indicator (HFI), uses sensors to detect muzzle flashes from small arms fire and RPGs, and precisely compute the bearing to the threat’s location. The second system, a Visual Acquisition Disruptor, will inhibit the ability of enemy combatants to acquire an accurate shot at the aircraft.
