Elta's Flight Guard is a missile detection and avoidance system that is installed on more than 200 military aircraft and helicopters as well as on several VIP commercial aircraft, and has been also installed in aircraft of the El Al, Arkia and Israir fleets that fly to high risk destinations.
It included SH-3G features with improvements for ASW, anti-ship missile detection and other airframe improvements.
Additional tests revealed the AN/FPS-35 radar had marginal value for missile detection.
These modifications increase its ability to locate and lock-on to a target and decrease the chance of missile detection.
Under ADCOM, emphasis went to systems for ballistic missile detection and warning and space surveillance, and the atmospheric detection and warning system, which had been in an almost continuous state of expansion and improvement since the 1950s, went into decline.
The 137th provides endurable missile warning detection to the National Command Authority and has the ability to survive and operate through all phases of trans/post attack.
The ABL system uses infrared sensors for initial missile detection.
It adds Hostile Fire Indication (HFI), which is the ability to detect incoming rocket propelled grenades and tracer ammunition in addition to an overall improvement in missile detection.
As on the B-2, the exhaust from the YF-23's engines flowed through troughs lined with heat-ablating tiles to dissipate heat and shield the engines from infrared (IR) missile detection from below.
The ERS includes radars, incoming missile detection, an anti-crash system, damage control system, tactical map, information relay, aircraft interception trajectories and weapons trajectory control.
