USAF Requests Industry Input for HH-60W Infrared Countermeasures System
The U.S. Air Force is soliciting industry insights to enhance infrared countermeasure capabilities for HH-60W helicopters. The initiative aims to identify potential contractors for research, development, and integration of advanced AIRCM systems.

The U.S. Air Force is evaluating options for an advanced infrared countermeasures system (AIRCM) for its HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopters. A recent business notice indicates the need for industry sources to engage in research, development, testing, evaluation, and full system integration for this project.
The goal is to successfully incorporate a government-furnished AIRCM onto the HH-60W fleet. This move may enhance the survivability of the aircraft during combat search and rescue missions. Increasing reliance on advanced countermeasures could lead to a shift in procurement strategies and defense spending.
