MIDAS RWR

The MIDAS is a family of an advanced, internally mounted self-protection Electronic Warfare system specifically designed for high performance fighter aircraft, including the F-16, F-4E.

MIDAS Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), integrated with Counter Measures Dispenser System (CMDS) provides intelligent control of chaff/flare dispenser system for dynamically adapted enhanced countermeasures self protection response.

The MIDAS is flight-line programmable for mission adaptability. Program updates to the threat data library are achievable with the menu driven Preflight Message Generator (PFMG) by means of in country re-programmability feature.

The system design embodies extensive Built-In-Test (BIT) capabilities which provide fault isolation to the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. In-flight BIT verifies proper in flight operation and system capabilities in case of failure.

The adaptive design of the MIDAS enables it to be easily tailored for specific system and platform requirements on both tactical and strategic aircraft.
