LostOblivion Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I was wondering what the bulb behind the rotor of helos e.g. the Apache, Hind, Kiowa, etc., is. Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW
Eddie Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Infra-Red Countermeasure (IRCM), IR jammer. Used on many rotary wing aircraft. Similar systems are also used on many military fixed wing aircraft, although they look very different (Terma AIRCM on Tornado GR4 and AN/AAQ-24(V) DIRCM for C-130 and similar systems for C-17/Tri-Star being examples). Edited October 27, 2011 by Eddie Really badly written, no longer fails primary school English.
