Danish F-16 Flight-Tests EADS Missile-Warning System
Initial flight trials were started in early June by EADS Defense Electronics of its latest AN/AAR-60(V)2 version of the missile-launch detection system (MILDS-F) in a Royal Danish Air Force F-16 from Aalborg Air Base. MILDS is an advanced sensor system that detects and tracks UV emissions of approaching missiles, and particularly shoulder-launched heat-seeking SAMs. With the RDAF and Danish Defense Research Establishment, EADS is working toward the installation of MILDS in TERMA’s pylon-integrated dispenser system and electronic combat-integrated pylon system linked to the AN/ALQ-213 EW management system.
