Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS)
Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS) is a critical countermeasure verification system that confirms actual missile threats, reducing false alerts and conserving flare resources during high-risk operations.
Key Features:
✔️ Confirms real missile threats to avoid false alarms
✔️ Reduces unnecessary flare deployment and pilot stress
✔️ Calculates distance, velocity, and time-to-impact of missiles
✔️ Operates in Ka-Band using pulsed Doppler radar
✔️ Two-axis gimbaled antenna ensures accurate tracking
✔️ Narrow beam detection for precise target confirmation
✔️ Supports simultaneous detection of multiple threats
✔️ Designed for integration in military aircraft defense suites
Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS) – Real-time threat assessment
Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS)
The Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS) is a compact, fully stabilized radar sensor housed in a 35 × 30 × 14 cm enclosure, weighing approximately 5.5 kg. It features a Ka-band high-power Doppler radar transmitter operating with a narrow beam to detect and confirm incoming missile threats. The device pivots rapidly toward the alert direction upon activation, with a passive cooling design and steady-state power consumption around 70 W. It offers full 360° azimuth coverage and elevation from +35° to –90°, ensuring comprehensive spherical awareness.
Activated following an initial alert from a missile warning system (e.g., MILDS), MACS verifies genuine threats by measuring target velocity and distance in real time. It calculates exact time-to-impact, enabling automatic or manual countermeasure deployment. The system drastically reduces false alarm rates, achieving better than one false alarm in 5,000 flight hours, while preserving the initial warning timeline.
The Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor (MACS) is designed for airborne self-protection kits on helicopters, VIP aircraft, and special-mission platforms. It confirms suspected MANPADS or ATGM threats with speed and perfection, preventing unnecessary flare dispersals while ensuring timely defensive actions. AMPS integration sees MACS operating alongside MILDS and DIRCM subsystems to form a multi-layered threat response suite.
In support of advanced airborne protection, Tactical Supply Pakistan offers full integration, training, and logistics support for MACS-equipped self-protection suites, enhancing defensive readiness for military and VIP aircraft operating in high-threat environments.
How significantly does MACS reduce false alarm rates compared to basic missile warning systems?
MACS achieves a false alarm rate better than 1 per 5,000 flight hours by using high-power Doppler confirmation following initial alerts—virtually eliminating unnecessary countermeasure deployment.
