INDUSTR Y N EWS Elbit Systems C-MUSIC™ Performs Successful B-707 Test Flights
Elbit Systems has announced that its C-MUSIC™ (Commercial Multi-Spectral Infrared Countermeasure) system performed a series of successful flight tests onboard a Boeing 707 aircraft. The system, designated to protect large jet aircraft against shoulder- launched missiles (MANPADS), was proven effective, successfully performing all of the needed functions. Elbit Systems' Electro-optics (Elop’s) Multi Spectral Infrared Countermeasure (MUSIC®) systems are a family of DIRCM (Directed Infrared Counter Measures) solutions for protecting aircraft against heat seeking ground to air missiles. These systems integrate advanced fibre laser technology together with a high rate thermal camera and a small, highly dynamic mirror turret to provide effective, reliable and affordable protection to all types of aircraft and under all operational conditions. Designed in an open architecture, their systems can easily be integrated on any type of aircraft. Elop’s systems are under production for several
programmes around the world – for a large variety of military, VIP and commercial aircraft:- MUSIC® is a DIRCM system for the
protection of helicopters and small to medium fixed-wing turboprop aircraft. This system has been selected by the Italian Air Force and is planned to be installed (in a dual turret configuration) on the C-130J, C-27J, AW101 and CSAR helicopters. The System has already been supplied and installed on VIP helicopters. J-MUSIC™ is a DIRCM system for the
protection of large aircraft (heavy transporters, tankers VIP jets, etc.). This system uses the same DIRCM as is in the C-MUSIC™ (see below). The system can be easily integrated on any type of aircraft, in a single or dual turret configuration. The J-MUSICTM was selected for Embraer's KC-390 programme in Brazil. C-MUSIC™ is a complete self-protection solution (including the J-MUSIC™ DIRCM and the PAWS IR Missile warning System), installed in an aerodynamic pod and especially designed for the protection of civil and VIP large jets.

Vision-Box® Helps Implement Smart Access Control Solution at Lisbon Airport
ANA Airports of Portugal, SA and Vision-Box ® SA have installed boarding eGates in Terminal 1 at Lisbon Airport, to validate passenger access to the Departure Lounge. Vision-Box’s innovative vb i-match® check-point gates will enable faster and automated
processing of passengers, by validating their boarding pass, whatever the format used - paper or electronic (be it a smart-phone or PDA). This new concept, currently in its pilot phase, will enable a more expedited self-service process at the airport’s checkpoints, opening the way to increased passenger flow, greater control and a much better traveller experience.
system was selected by the Israeli government for the protection of its entire commercial airlines fleet and was designed to meet the requirements of both commercial certification and protection of large aircraft. This is the first programme in the world to provide a complete protection solution for commercial aviation. The system is being offered on the international market and there is considerable interest by many potential customers operating commercial, VIP and military aircraft.
