Close-In Countermeasure Defeats Rocket Propelled Grenades in Live On-The-Move Tests

BAE Systems, SANTA CLARA: BAE Systems has successfully completed the first on-the-move test of its Close-In Countermeasure (CICM) active protection system against incoming Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) at a government test range.  
 
“These on-the-move successes, from a CICM system mounted on a moving Bradley Combat Systems vehicle, demonstrates the company's expertise in this critical survivability technology by integrating a complete active protection system in two years. CICM has previously executed successful static firings against various threats,” said Carl Sullinger, CICM program manager for BAE Systems. “This was a great team effort by the BAE Systems personnel and the U.S. Army test and safety personnel.”  
 
CICM is a complete active protection system designed to defeat incoming threats. CICM is modular, lightweight, low-cost and is designed to be adaptable to a wide range of ground, sea and air platforms. The CICM system is comprised of passive threat launch detection and active radar tracking subsystems, an advanced fire control processor, a simple user interface, and an extremely high speed gimbaled launcher that fires a multigun cluster munition. BAE Systems developed CICM in only two years using internal research and development funds to respond to near-term operational needs.  
 
The CICM team includes BAE Systems units in Santa Clara, Calif. and Nashua, N.H., along with Curtiss-Wright Controls and Pacific Scientific.  
 
BAE Systems is an international company engaged in the development, delivery, and support of advanced defense and aerospace systems in the air, on land, at sea, and in space. The company designs, manufactures, and supports military aircraft, combat vehicles, surface ships, submarines, radar, avionics, communications, electronics, and guided weapon systems.
