LFK-Lenkflugkorpersysteme GmbH expects a major boost to its missile-warning system business following the production launch of the NATO Helicopter 90 program. The tactical transport helicopter version of the NH 90 will be equipped with a complete electronic warfare self-protection system including a radar warning system, a laser warning system and LFK's AAR-60 Missile Launch Detection System (MLDS). A total of 144 NH 90 helicopters are to be fitted with MLDS, along with 80 Eurocopter Tigers in German service. LFK expects an order for the system for France's 80 Tigers, and will offer it for Germany's C160 transports. MLDS is a high-resolution system using ultraviolet sensors, and is jointly marketed by Litton and LFK for high-performance fixed-wing applications. It forms part of the Litton ASPIS (Advanced Self Protection System) for the F-16.
