CRITICAL CAPABILITIES
The Common Missile Warning System (CMWS), a flare-based countermeasure system, is one of a number of currently fielded aircraft survivability technologies that deliver key performance-enhancing, and at times life-saving technologies to Soldiers in combat. Here, Soldiers with the 1st General Support Aviation Battalion, 171st Aviation Regiment conduct CMWS training in conjunction with Man Portable Air Defense Simulators at Yankee Range in McMullen County, TX, Nov. 1, 2011.

Preserving a “sacred trust” to serve performance-enhancing, and at times life-saving
technologies is implicit in Army acquisition, Phillips said. To that
of our investment programs. We need to have an investment program for the long term. We are preaching bal- ance and accepting some risk. We are - stantial fuel
savings and an increase
in horsepower. Technology is chang- ing real fast, and we want to sustain, maintain, and modernize,” Crosby told reporters at AAAA. “With the budget and the things we are facing, we can’t have everything that we want, so we are taking appetite suppressants. We’re taking on risk in some areas, and we have put together a strategy that we believe is achievable.”
horsepower, Phillips referred to the Improved Turbine Engine Program, a developmental effort to construct Hawk and Apache engine that exceeds the performance capabilities of today’s T700-701D engine.
“We cannot allow anything to come between this trust,” Phillips emphasized.
In particular, he cited the deployment - nologies protecting aviators, such as the the Advanced Threat Infrared Coun- laser-jammer countermeasure system designed
to thwart more advanced
threats such as heat-seeking missiles by throwing them off course.
“Aviation survivability equipment saves lives. We can’t rest on our laurels. At the end of the day, we have to focus on making sure we stay ahead of the threat,” Phillips said, referring to the now-in-development Common Infra- red Countermeasures, a lighter-weight, more-capable next-generation version aircraft by 2018.
