BIRD Aerosystems Launches µDIRCM™ - World's Most Compact & Advanced Protection System Against MANPADS and the only available solution for Small Helicopters and UAVs
New system delivers powerful, lightweight, small size, cost-effective protection against modern threats, enabling the most advanced DIRCM capabilities for platforms previously left unprotected.
BIRD Aerosystems, a global provider of innovative airborne defense solutions, announces the official launch of its latest development – the µDIRCM™ : the most compact, lightweight, and cost-effective DIRCM solution available today, developed based on BIRD's fully operationally proven SPREOS DIRCM technologies.
Tailored to meet the growing demand for lightweight defence systems, the µDIRCM™ enables unique and comprehensive airborne missile defense even for small platforms, UAV's and light helicopters such as the Airbus H145.
Due to its size, weight, and cost, the dual µDIRCM™ unit's turret configuration is peffectly optimized for wingtip integration on combat helicopters such as the AH64 Apache, ensuring full hemispheric protection.
The µDIRCM™ is a fully autonomous single-LRU solution weighing less than 7kg, offering unmatched protection against Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) and other modern threats. Its advanced infrared tracker, combined with high-power all solid-state laser emitters, delivers high-precision jamming, while its dual-band IR confirmation mechanism ensures near zero system false alarms – a key characteristic of BIRD's DIRCM family. Designed for seamless integration with any missile warning system (MWS), the µDIRCM™ provides maximal coverage, all while meeting the highest military and civil aviation standards.
Matan Perry, CMO & VP Sales at BIRD Aerosystems, stated: "The µDIRCM's compact size, low weight and cost-effectiveness set a new standard of protection for small helicopters and UAS, which until now could not acommodate traditional DIRCM solutions. We are witnessing increasing demand for self protection system in these segments. Together with BIRD's mature SPREOS DIRCM, the µDIRCM™ completes BIRDs portfolio, enabling comprehensive protection solutions ranging from small size platform up to large VVIP aircrafts."
Ronen Factor, Co-CEO and Founder of BIRD Aerosystems, stated: "The launch of the µDIRCM™ is a major milestone for BIRD. We've harnessed our combat proven DIRCM technology and experience to develop the world's smallest and most effective self-protection system, representing the most advanced DIRCM technology available today. We are proud to share that the µDIRCM™ has already been selected by global customers and will become operational during 2026."
