The US Army has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a new multifunction threat warning system for its rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft. The Project Manager for Aircraft Surviv-ability Equipment (PM ASE) is seeking an Advanced Threat Detection System (ATDS) that performs missile warning, hostile fire indication (HFI) and laser warning. With a First Unit Equipped (FUE) goal of 2023, the RFI emphasizes that PM ASE is interested in technologies that are at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher and that "the EMD phase will not support the development of new or high risk technologies that have not already been demonstrated in a relevant environment."
