Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Optical Detection and Identification Node (“ODIN”)
Summary
The Department of the Air Force awarded Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation a $60.4 million task order to develop the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Optical Detection and Identification Node (ODIN), an enhanced infrared missile‑warning sensor with hostile fire indication, laser warning, and counter‑small‑UAS detection capabilities. The effort advances critical survivability technology for large aircraft and will produce a production‑ready ODIN sensor for the Air Force and other U.S. and foreign customers.
