A Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures, or LAIRCM, system pod is attached to a KC-135 Stratotanker parked on the flightline, March 1, at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. In a combined effort between Air Mobility Command, the Air National Guard, the KC-135 Program Office, Northrop-Grumman and other agencies, a KC-135 LAIRCM pod defensive system is becoming a reality. The pod, called the Guardian System by maker Northrop-Grumman, is a laser-based countermeasures system designed to detect, provide warning of, and employ countermeasures against infrared-guided surface-to-air missiles.
